Newsom Sues Trump Over National Guard Deployment During LA Protests

Newsom Sues Trump Administration Over National Guard Deployment During LA Immigration Protests Los Angeles, CA – California Governor Gavin Newsom escalated his conflict with the Trump administration on Monday, filing a lawsuit over the deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles during recent immigration protests. Newsom's lawsuit accuses the Trump administration of an "unprecedented power grab," claiming the deployment was made without his permission. "This is a blatant overreach of federal authority," Newsom stated in a press conference. "The President is attempting to undermine the authority of state governors and circumvent established legal processes." The White House defended the deployment, with a spokesperson stating that the protests "constitute a form of rebellion" and that the National Guard's presence was necessary to maintain order. President Trump himself commented on the situation, saying that Newsom "likes the publicity" but is "grossly incompetent." Newsom's lawsuit highlights the deep political divisions surrounding immigration policy and the ongoing tension between federal and state governments. The legal battle promises to be lengthy and could have significant implications for the balance of power between the federal government and individual states.
