Judge Breyer sets hearing on California's lawsuit challenging Trump's federalization of National Guard amid escalating anti-ICE protests in Los Angeles

The appeals court issued its pause just hours after Judge Charles Breyer wrote that Trump’s “actions were illegal." The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the case on June 17.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced Monday he's suing the Trump administration over the deployment of the U.S. Marines and the National Guard to Los Angeles protests. The big picture: President Trump and Newsom are embroiled in a simmering standoff over the response to the protest unrest that erupted last week over Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids.

The temporary restraining order request alleges the deployment “escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom plans to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration early Monday morning over the president’s deployment of 300 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, even as the LAPD chief admitted Sunday his cops “are overwhelmed” by the violent anti-ICE riots taking over the city.

Washington State Attorney General Nick Brown has filed an amicus brief in support of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s legal effort to prevent President Donald Trump from deploying the state’s National Guard to protect federal property and personnel.

Newsom called Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer concluded that the president failed to comply with the statute he cited—and violated the 10th Amendment too.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has rebuked President Donald Trump after a federal court judge has blocked a National Guard federalization request by the president.

Dozens of mayors from the Los Angeles region demanded that the Trump administration stop the stepped-up immigration raids that have spread fear and sparked protests.
