California governor asks court to block Trump administration from using troops in immigration raids
- On Tuesday, the state of California, represented by its governor and attorney general, submitted an urgent legal request to prevent President Donald Trump from deploying National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles.
- The motion challenges Trump's decision to send approximately four thousand National Guard troops along with seven hundred Marines to Los Angeles in response to demonstrations that erupted after federal immigration arrests of more than 40 individuals beginning on Friday.
- Newsom's lawsuit argues that Trump violated state authority and constitutional law by militarizing Los Angeles without gubernatorial consent, which officials say escalates tensions and deprives local law enforcement resources.
- Marine Corps Gen. Eric Smith stated Marines in Los Angeles had not been called to respond to protests and were only protecting federal property, while the Pentagon estimates the deployment costs $134 million.
- The legal challenge seeks to halt further troop deployments in civilian law enforcement roles, with Newsom warning that the military presence threatens democracy and public safety, a move opposed by local officials and police.
