California Sues Trump Over Federalization of Guard

California has sued the Trump administration after President Donald Trump ordered the federalization and deployment of up to 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to protests over immigration enforcement. Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta allege that the move is unlawful, violates the Tenth Amendment, and was made without the governor's consent, infringing on state sovereignty. Newsom and Bonta further accuse Trump of creating chaos for political purposes, asserting that there was no invasion or rebellion to justify the action. Trump defended the deployment as necessary to restore order, referring to protesters as 'insurrectionists' and accusing California leaders of incompetence. The protests led to clashes, property damage, and dozens of arrests, with critics warning the federal action could set a dangerous precedent for future interventions. The state seeks a court order to halt the deployment and declare the president’s actions illegal.
