President George H.W. Bush used the Insurrection Act to call in the National Guard in 1992 .

President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 Marines.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta filed a lawsuit Monday saying Trump had overstepped his authority.

Unlike the 1992 riots, protests have mainly been peaceful and been confined to a small stretch of downtown LA .
