"We're a nation of laws and accountability - not a nation that turns a blind eye to abuse of power. Donald Trump, himself a convicted felon who pardoned felons convicted of assaulting federal law enforcement officers, is misleading the public with his false narrative that America, and especially California, is some lawless wasteland. But California is proving him wrong - in the courts and on the facts,"
"We don't bow to kings, and we're standing up to this wannabe tyrant. The notion that the federal government can deploy troops into our cities with no justification grounded in reality, no oversight, no accountability, no respect for state sovereignty - it's a direct assault on the rule of law. We're drawing a line: California will always defend the Constitution, our people, and our values from authoritarian overreach,"
California will file a lawsuit immediately if the federal government sends federalized members of the military to San Francisco. Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta announced legal action in response to presidential statements targeting San Francisco for National Guard deployment. President Donald Trump has identified San Francisco as a target and described the city as a mess. Newsom framed a federal deployment without justification, oversight, or respect for state sovereignty as unlawful and an assault on the rule of law. Newsom asserted that California will defend the Constitution, its people, and values, and noted that crime is down in San Francisco per the Major Cities Chiefs Association.
