Lawsuit claims administration ‘trampled’ on states sovereignty by bypassing Governor Gavin Newsom

California plans to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration on Monday, accusing the Donald Trump of “unlawfully” federalizing the state’s national guard to quell immigration protests in Los Angeles.

Previewing the suit, the attorney general, Rob Bonta, said the extraordinary deployment of troops had “trampled” the state’s sovereignty, overriding objections by the governor Gavin Newsom and going “against the wishes of law enforcement on the ground”. Bonta said the legal action will ask the court to declare Trump’s call deployment of the guard unlawful and will seek a restraining order to halt the use of its troops to manage the protests.

“We don’t take lightly to the president abusing his authority and unlawfully mobilizing California national guard troops,” the attorney general said during a virtual news conference on Monday. Later, multiple news outlets reported that the Pentagon planned to temporarily mobilize about 700 marines to Los Angeles while additional national guard troops arrive in the city, a provocative escalation by the federal government.

Trump is flexing to see how much he can get away with. He'll seize control of the entire state soon.

Presumably he's also testing the loyalty of the armed forces.

And honestly, if things keep spiraling, we might all be looking for our own Escape Road out of this madness — at least that game lets you dodge chaos by choice.

Yeah, good luck with that. Lawsuits and convictions have been working great so far against that orange twat waffle.

Could California perhaps reign in the LAPD? They are the ones currently beating the crap out of innocent people.

State rights, not state lefts. Learn the difference commi-cali.
