President Donald Trump has deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA. But California Gov. Gavin Newsom and California Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.
California on Tuesday asked a federal court for a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard forces and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles.
After the Trump administration sent Marines and National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to the protests against immigration enforcement, Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed adding another group to the mix: the Florida State Guard.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has argued that the deployment is “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”
