California Is Suing Trump

The President of the United States may have violated federal law and the Constitution.

The state of California and Governor Gavin Newsom have sued US President Donald Trump, the Pentagon and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over the deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles.

The complaint, filed in federal district court in San Francisco, alleges that Trump violated federal law and the Constitution with his decision, Reuters reported.

"Trump has repeatedly used emergency powers to overstep the boundaries of legitimate executive authority. On Saturday, June 7, he used a protest that was controlled by local authorities to make another unprecedented power grab, this time at the cost of California state sovereignty and in defiance of the governor's authority and role as commander-in-chief of the state's National Guard," the document noted. In this regard, the state demanded that the court overturn the decision to deploy National Guard troops and return control of them to the governor.

Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops and 700 Marines to California after riots broke out over U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids against undocumented migrants. The military used tear gas and flash-bang grenades to disperse protesters in Los Angeles. Trump praised the National Guard for a "job well done," noting that without the military's intervention, the city "would have burned to the ground." He also accused authorities in California and Los Angeles of not doing enough to address violence at the protests, and said he would have supported the arrest of Governor Newsom because he was "grossly incompetent." The California governor called Trump's announcement "an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism."

According to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, to bring in National Guard troops, Trump invoked a law that had only been used once before, in 1970, when President Richard Nixon used military personnel to deliver mail during a postal strike. It was also the first time the law was enacted without the governor's consent since 1965, when President Lindon Johnson deployed troops to Alabama to protect civil rights demonstrators.
