After President Donald Trump unleashed the troops of the National Guard of California in Los Angeles on Sunday for the objections of governor Gavin Newpom, California has moved to sue the federal government on the grounds that the president has acted illegally.

California General Prosecutor Rob Bont said on Monday that the state is looking for an order to suspend the 60-day president Federalization of National Guard troopsS The president unfolded troops – usually under joint state and federal control – without approval by civil servants, citing a statute in the federal law, which lists three specific conditions When the National Guard can fall under the federal power. Trump also authorizes Monday mobilization of 700 Marines in LA

But Bont claims that clashes over the weekend between federal agents to apply immigration and Demonstrators protesters against immigration attacks He did not meet the standard for any of the conditions and that Trump’s order was “unnecessary, useless and counterproductive.” This is the state 24th case against the Second Trump AdministrationS

  • Bont: “The activation of these (National Guard) troops for protests that local law enforcement agencies confirmed at that time were under control, is deeply unfair and disrespectful to their service and victim. This pulls them from the critical work that needs and requires their immediate attention.”

Newsom called for the withdrawal of troops Sunday in a letter to the US Secretary of Defense. The letter was left unanswered according to the Bont, although Tom Homan, appointed to Trump Border Tsar. threatened to arrest Those who prevented efforts to implement immigration, including Newsom and La Mayor Karen Bass. On Monday Trump said he would Support to Arrest NewsomS

In the meantime, government officials, They seem not confused From the statements of Homan and Trump.

  • Bont: “It’s just more fairy tales, more ancestor, more informed … It is the president that has to put a mirror next to himself and realize that the illegal actor here is he and his administration.”

But with the passage of time and Wildfire Aid was not yet to comethe tension between the two rose again – especially ended Trump’s tariff policiesS Even before Trump deployed troops on Sunday, his administration was considering Expansive abbreviations of federal funding For California, which prompted Newsom to weigh publicly retention of federal taxesS

Although this circle of quarrel can help Newsom explode support from its base, some political experts say it is difficult to challenge Trump not only because the Presidency itself has a lot of power, but also because Trump is particularly belligerent against those he views as political enemies.
