Trump lawyers told the court that Trump has "no obligation" to consult, or even notify California Gov. Newsom before federalizing National Guard troops to quell anti-ICE protests.
The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”
McCrory said the state is put in a “precarious position” when a governor and mayor aren’t willing to work with the president.
The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.
California Gov. Gavin Newsom issued an address to Californians, calling out President Donald Trump for the "commandeering" of National Guard troops and Marines to instigate violence at LA anti-ICE protests.
Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against the wishes of Newsom and Bass. Newsom sued the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.
