California Governor Gavin Newsom took to the airwaves Tuesday night — with federal troops stationed in his state’s largest city and immigration agents rounding up residents — and warned Americans that democracy itself was under attack from President Donald Trump.

As Trump’s administration promises to round up some 3,000 immigrants a day and deport 1 million a year, the political stakes are shifting in real time.

Newsom said that Trump's deployment of National Guard troops has only inflamed the situation and made it more difficult for local law enforcement to respond to the demonstrations.

Newsom sued the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

Poland has detained a 19-year old man suspected of planning a terrorist attack, interior ministry spokesman Jacek Dobrzynski said on Thursday.

“Democracy is under assault right before our eyes,” Newsom said. “The moment we’ve feared has arrived.”
