California Sues Trump Over Guard Deployment Order

California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have sued the Trump administration over President Donald Trump's order to federalize and deploy 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to protests over federal immigration raids. State officials argue that the order is illegal, violates the Tenth Amendment and state sovereignty, and was made without the governor's required consent. Newsom and Bonta accuse Trump of abusing presidential authority for political purposes, while Trump defends the deployment as necessary to restore order and labels the protesters as 'insurrectionists.' The protests have involved violence, property damage, and dozens of arrests, leading to a significant law enforcement and military presence in the city. Critics warn that the federal intervention could set a dangerous precedent and inflame tensions. The lawsuit seeks a restraining order to halt the deployment and a court declaration that the president’s actions are unlawful.
