Three Democratic governors are defending their responses to the migrant crisis​ and dispute claims of failing to cooperate with federal authorities, according to remarks prepared for a congressional panel.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said President Donald Trump is “pulling a military dragnet” across Los Angeles during a brief public address on Tuesday.

Hundreds of protesters gathered outside the San Francisco Immigration Court at 100 Montgomery Street to oppose President Donald Trump 's aggressive deportation plans after Immigration and Customs Enforcement ( ICE) arrested multiple immigrants at the downtown courtroom, NBC Bay Area first reported.

Videos and photographs of Wednesday raids across the country show people clashing with, running from, and being arrested by immigration agents.

Trump is begging for a fight on this. He knows what he’s doing so far is working with the American electorate," one data analyst noted

President Donald Trump’s deployment of military troops to California is forcing Democrats back onto politically perilous turf, as they look for ways to condemn Trump’s actions without being drawn into a broad debate over immigration or tying themselves to the chaotic scenes emerging from Los Angeles.

HOW WE GOT HERE: The protests erupted after Immigration Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers on Friday carried out raids in three locations across L.A., where dozens of people were taken into custody. Newsom called the raids “chaotic federal sweeps” that aimed to fill an “arbitrary arrest quota.”

President Donald Trump is moving swiftly to act on his immigration promises with little internal restraint, determined to test the bounds of his executive authority in order to fulfill the promises of his reelection campaign.
