California officials have filed a federal lawsuit to block the deployment of National Guard and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles amid significant protests against immigration enforcement. They argue that this military presence, initiated by the Trump administration without state consent, undermines the state’s rights and escalates tensions in immigrant communities. California Attorney General Rob Bonta criticizes the militarization of urban environments as illegal and intimidating, with Governor Gavin Newsom warning that such actions threaten democracy and likening the President’s approach to tyranny.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta stated, 'The President is looking for any pretense to place military forces on American streets to intimidate and quiet those who disagree with him.'
Governor Gavin Newsom emphasized, 'Sending trained warfighters onto the streets is unprecedented and threatens the very core of our democracy,' calling Trump's actions tyrannical.
