California has sought Federal Court Review of Trump’s (R) Order to Place the National Guard under Federal Control during Immigration-related Unrest in Los Angeles. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has Requested Records on Taxpayer Costs and has Contested the Deployment under Federal Law.
A Judge has Allowed the Trial to proceed, to Examine Presidential Authority over Domestic Troop Deployment.
Newsom stated, "This is beyond incompetence—this is him intentionally causing chaos, terrorizing communities, and endangering the principles of our great democracy." He added, "It is an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism. We will not let this stand."
California Attorney General Rob Bonta (D) said, "Let me be clear: There is no invasion. There is no rebellion." He added, "The President is trying to manufacture chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends."
Bonta stated, "Federalizing the California National Guard is an abuse of the President's authority under the law—and not one we take lightly." He added, "We're asking a court to put a stop to the unlawful, unprecedented order."
Newsom Argued the Insurrection Act was Inapplicable, citing the Absence of Rebellion, a State Request for Aid, or a Breakdown in Governance.
Judge Charles R. Breyer Rejected the Administration’s Claim that "Posse Comitatus" Arguments lack Legal Basis. The Administration invoked the Insurrection Act to Federalize the California National Guard and Deploy Forces to Los Angeles.
Breyer wrote, "He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith." He added, "We're talking about the president exercising his authority. And the president is, of course, limited in his authority."
Breyer concluded, "That's the difference between a constitutional government and King George."
