United States — California is suing the Donald Trump administration over the deployment of the United States — National Guard (United States) to United States — Los Angeles to quell protests against United States — United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta argue that Donald Trump's order to deploy the United States — National Guard (United States) without the state's consent is an unlawful overreach of federal authority, violating the 10th Amendment and trampling on United States — California's sovereignty. Donald Trump, however, defended the deployment, stating it was necessary to prevent the city from being 'completely obliterated' by 'violent people' and 'professional agitators.' The lawsuit seeks a court order to declare the deployment unlawful and halt it. This event marks a rare instance of a state's United States — National Guard (United States) being activated without the governor's request, drawing parallels to historical events like President Lyndon B. Johnson's deployment in Alabama in 1965.
