1min read California Gov Newsom: Suing Trump administration
California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced plans to sue the Trump administration over the deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles. The move comes as tensions escalated between law enforcement and protesters following immigration raids and subsequent demonstrations in the city.On Sunday, June 6, protests began in Los Angeles after immigration raids sparked a small protest. The demonstrations grew larger the following day, leading to clashes between protesters and officers. In response, President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guard members to quell the demonstrations. Trump's memo invoked a section of federal code authorizing the president to call the guard into service.
Governor Newsom has criticized the deployment, calling it a "serious breach of state sovereignty" and demanding that Trump "return control" to California. Newsom plans to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that the decision was made without following the required protocol and coordination with state officials [1].
The deployment of the National Guard has added to the ongoing political tensions between the Trump administration and California. Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass have both criticized the decision, with Newsom daring Trump's "border czar" Tom Homan to "arrest me." The situation has led to an unlawful assembly declaration being expanded to include all of downtown Los Angeles, with at least 56 people arrested, including 29 on Saturday and at least 17 when the 101 Freeway was shut down [2].
The lawsuit is the latest in a series of legal challenges faced by the Trump administration. The move by Newsom underscores the ongoing political and legal battles between the federal government and state officials over immigration policies and the deployment of military forces.
