Newsom Sues Trump Over National Guard Deployment in Los Angeles

A political conflict erupted in California on June 11, 2025, when Governor Gavin Newsom sued President Donald Trump, the Pentagon, and the Secretary of Defense. Newsom's lawsuit stems from the federal government's deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles to quell protests. Newsom argued that the deployment was an overreach of federal power and that the city would have been devastated without federal intervention. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass echoed Newsom's concerns, adding that Trump's administration escalated the conflict unnecessarily. The situation highlights the deep political divisions within the United States, especially concerning immigration and social control. The legal battle between Newsom and Trump is expected to further polarize the political landscape. The incident underscores the need for dialogue and cooperation between state and federal authorities to address social unrest and maintain public order.
