Trump Federalizes 2,000 California National Guard Troops for LA

President Trump invoked 10 U.S.C. 12406 to call at least 2,000 California National Guard members into federal service for 60 days, over Governor Newsom's objection, to protect ICE agents and federal buildings during the Los Angeles protests.

The memorandum calls into federal service "at least 2,000 National Guard personnel" for "60 days or at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense" to protect ICE and other federal personnel and property^[1].
It invokes 10 U.S.C. 12406 and calls protests that inhibit the execution of the laws "a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States"^[1].
It also lets the Secretary of Defense employ other regular armed forces "in any number determined appropriate in his discretion"^[1].
Troops were moved from San Diego to Los Angeles early on 8 June without the governor's authorization; the deployment grew to 4,000 Guard members plus 700 Marines^[3].
Governor Newsom sued on 9 June, beginning Newsom v. Trump^[2][3].
