California authorities said Monday they will file a lawsuit against US President Donald Trump to overturn the administration’s National Guard deployment, claiming the president violated the state’s sovereignty.
Gavin Newsom, the governor of California, describes the Marines’ presence on the streets of Los Angeles as “illegal and immoral. By lunchtime Monday, US officials said about 1,000 soldiers of the National Guard were in the city on federal orders to deal with protests against immigration. Since the Trump administration approved a 2,000-person deployment, an additional 1,000 members are anticipated to be on the ground.
At the same time, the US Northern Command said Monday that the Pentagon has formally sent about 700 Marines to Los Angeles to help National Guard members deal with immigration demonstrations.
Revoke the directive. In a social media post on the platform X, Democrat Newsom called for the return of authority to California. Trump, a Republican, said in a tweet on his social media platform Truth Social that if he hadn’t deployed Guard soldiers, the city would have been “utterly destroyed.
