California Governor Gavin Newsom has filed a motion for a temporary restraining order to prevent the deployment of military troops in Los Angeles amid ongoing immigration protests. This action follows a federal lawsuit challenging President Trump's invocation of a statute permitting military intervention, which Newsom argues bypasses his authority as the commander-in-chief of the California National Guard. The lawsuit criticizes the president's efforts as an unconstitutional power grab, contending that the local protests have been peaceful and do not warrant military response.
"The actions by President Trump and his administration are an unprecedented power grab, undermining the democratic foundations of our governance system."
"California's lawsuit argues that the military deployment is unnecessary, given that the Los Angeles protests have been peaceful and compliant with the law."
