California Sues Trump Over National Guard Deployment

Officials say the president illegally federalized National Guard troops.

California officials on June 9 sued President Donald Trump over his federalization of National Guard troops.

Trump federalized troops over the weekend as riots broke out in Los Angeles County in opposition to arrests of illegal immigrants by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

He said, in a memorandum, โ€œTo the extent that protests or acts of violence directly inhibit the execution of the laws, they constitute a form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.โ€

Federal law enables the president to federalize Guard troops, which are typically under state command, if โ€œthere is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United Statesโ€ or if the United States โ€œis invaded or is in danger of invasion by a foreign nation.โ€

Trumpโ€™s federalization was the first time the statute has been invoked since 1970, when President Richard Nixon federalized the Guard to deliver mail during a Postal Service strike, the California officials said.

Following Trumpโ€™s action, California Gov. Gavin Newsom asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to rescind the deployment of the troops, but that has not happened. Instead, the military has activated hundreds of Marines and is sending them to Los Angeles and its environs.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement: โ€œLet me be clear: There is no invasion. There is no rebellion. The President is trying to manufacture chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends. Federalizing the California National Guard is an abuse of the Presidentโ€™s authority under the lawโ€”and not one we take lightly. Weโ€™re asking a court to put a stop to the unlawful, unprecedented order.โ€
