Trump, National Guard and protests
Digest more
California on Tuesday asked a federal court for a temporary restraining order blocking the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard forces and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles.
The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”
After the Trump administration sent Marines and National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to the protests against immigration enforcement, Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed adding another group to the mix: the Florida State Guard.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has argued that the deployment is “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”
