California Governor Gavin Newsom and State Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit this week, saying President Trump overstepped his authority when he federalized the California National Guard and deployed U.S. Marines.

Trump has deployed 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to L.A.following days of protests in small pockets of Los Angeles and Orange County.

In addition to the California National Guard soldiers on duty and stationed in Los Alamitos, another 700 Marines are staging at Naval Weapons Station Seal Beach.

Both will be performing the same operations after completing two days of training on civil unrest training and how to control crowds.

National Guard troops were seen in a residential area of East Los Angeles during an apparent FBI raid Thursday morning.

AIR7 was over the scene around 6:30 a.m. as the guardsmen blocked off several streets in the area.

At least two people were seen being detained, but they were later released.

Additional details about the nature of the operation were not available. No ICE agents were visible.

A hearing is set for Thursday over Gov. Gavin Newsom's request to stop troops from coming to Los Angeles amid anti-ICE protests.

A U.S. District Court judge in San Francisco will hear arguments from California and the federal government starting at 1:30 p.m.

The hearing comes after Newsom filed an emergency motion Wednesday requesting the court's intervention following President Trump's deployment of thousands of National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the area.

A hearing is set for Thursday over Governor Newsom's request to stop troops from coming to Los Angeles amid anti-ICE protests. President Trump has deployed 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to the area.

President Trump's deployment is raising a host of legal questions regarding what he can and can't do with regards to the military on U.S. soil.

California leaders claim Trump inflamed the protests by sending in the military when it was not necessary, and did so illegally.

"The order we are seeking would invalidate the unlawful deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles, and ensure that they are under the command of their actual commander-in-chief... Governor Gavin Newsom," said California Attorney General Rob Bonta. "It would also restrict the Marines to appropriate activities while in Los Angeles."

Newsom argues the situation, which has been relatively confined to a few square blocks in downtown Los Angeles, doesn't justify the use of Section 12406 in Title 10, which Trump invoked to send the National Guardsmen.

Protesters descended on several hotels across Los Angeles County, responding to social media reports that ICE agents were staying at those businesses.

Hotels in Glendale, Downey, Whittier and Pasadena on Wednesday all saw protesters chanting slogans and speaking out against the recent immigration raids.

As many as 200 people were reportedly on the scene at one point outside the Hilton in Glendale.

The protesters believed ICE agents were staying at the hotels. One hotel in Downey was spray-painted, and some vehicles had slashed tires.

The demonstration began shortly after sunset and continued into the night, with protesters describing the raids as aggressive and unjust enforcement targeting immigrant communities.

"Why are we going after hardworking immigrants who are just trying to make a living? They make this country what it is today. I'm out here for them," one man said.

In Whittier, police were called in to disperse demonstrators from the lobby of the Double Tree and move them out onto the sidewalks. Police could not confirm if ICE agents were there.

The demonstration at the Embassy Suites in Downey was mostly peaceful with no arrests. A watch commander told Eyewitness News ICE agents are not staying there.
