Gov. Bob Ferguson said he has canceled his weekend plans to remain in Seattle as protests are expected across Washington state Saturday.

Washington state leaders denounce Trump's activation of the California National Guard against the state governor's wishes.

President Donald Trump's deployment of L.A. will be “the first, perhaps, of many,” he told reporters this week.

Noem threatened Biden for considering activating the Guard in Texas over governor's objections, but praises Trump for doing it in California.

Washington state officials urged people to raise their voices in a planned day of protest Saturday against the policies of President Donald Trump, but urged protesters to avoid violence and deprive Trump of any excuse for intervening as he did in LA.

President Donald Trump federalized the California National Guard without Gov. Gavin Newsom’s consent, leading governors to take different approaches on how to prepare for upcoming protests.

Los Angeles residents and experts say the National Guard's presence in Los Angeles in response to immigration protests is reminiscent of a long-standing dynamic in the state and around the country.

The 1st Battalion, 182nd Infantry Regiment descends from militia who first formed the ranks of the Continental Army on the Cambridge Common in 1775 and is one of only three units in the Army that can display the Lexington-Concord battle streamer.

Ferguson reiterated he believes police can handle demonstrations, but he is in contact with the Washington National Guard ahead of "No Kings Day" protests that are expected across the state on Saturday.

About 500 of the National Guard troops deployed to the Los Angeles protests have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations, the commander in charge said Wednesday
