California officials have filed for an emergency order to restrict the use of federal troops, specifically Marines and National Guard in Los Angeles, limiting them to protecting federal properties. This legal move is part of a lawsuit challenging President Trump's deployment of 4,000 National Guard troops, which local leaders call unnecessary. The dispute reflects tensions between Governor Gavin Newsom and Trump, particularly after Newsom contradicted Trump's claims of a phone conversation between them, raising concerns about the militarization of the city amid ongoing protests against racial injustice.
California officials requested an emergency federal court order to limit military actions by troops in Los Angeles to protect federal property only.
The state argues that President Trump acted unconstitutionally in deploying National Guard troops without Governor Gavin Newsom's consent, sparking a significant legal confrontation.
