President Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to Los Angeles amid protests against immigration arrests, asserting federalization authority over California's Governor Gavin Newsom's objections. In response, California's Attorney General has sued Trump, claiming he lacks power to federalize the National Guard and is violating federal law with his actions. While the president's federalization authority exists, its application in this context is legally questionable, and the absence of invoking the Insurrection Act complicates matters further. A federal court decision could determine the legality of Trump's deployment as it pertains to law enforcement in civilian areas.
Trump has federalized California's National Guard amid protests, facing opposition from Gov. Gavin Newsom and a lawsuit questioning his interpretation of federal law.
The state attorney general's suit challenges Trump's authority and seeks to prevent federal troops from enforcing laws in Los Angeles, raising significant legal questions.
