Tensions are escalating between President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement continue to grip Los Angeles and spread to New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Austin, Texas, and other cities.

Trump deployed about 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against Newsom's wishes.

A federal appeals court Thursday delayed an order requiring the Trump administration to return control of the National Guard to Newsom, dealing the administration a temporary reprieve to what would have been a major reversal of its policy on the protests.

National Guard can detain people

The 700 Marines being sent to Los Angeles are currently undergoing a two-day civil unrest training to get "extensive training on crowd control," Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman of the National Guard told Los Angeles ABC station KABC.

President Donald Trump has sent 4,000 National Guardsmen to LA. There are 2,000 of them currently in LA and the other 2,000 will arrive by Thursday afternoon to begin training, Sherman said.

The soldiers' role is "solely to protect personnel to do their federal mission," Sherman said. He noted that the National Guard has been on raids as "protection of personnel as they do their federal job."

The guardsmen can detain people, but local law enforcement must make the arrests, he said.

Chicago woman suffers broken arm after video shows car speed through protesters

A woman said she broke her arm as a car sped through a crowd of protestors in Chicago on Tuesday.

Thousands marched downtown Chicago Tuesday, protesting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement arrests nationwide.

Heather Blair, 66, has scrapes to her face, and her left arm is now in a sling, after she says she was injured during the frantic moments a car sped through a group of anti-ICE demonstrators in Chicago's Loop.

"If a car is upset with a crowd. They usually go slowly and honk, right? They don't accelerate," Blair said.

Blair says she and her husband were part of the thousands of people packing the Loop Tuesday night, voicing their anger and frustration with ICE raids locally and across the country.

She says in those frantic moments she doesn't remember if she was actually hit by the car or fell over in the pandemonium of the moment.

She said she planned to demonstrate again this weekend, but doesn't know if she is going to be able to.

Chicago police did not immediately provide additional information about the driver in question.
