Attorney General of California Rob Bonta filed a complaint against the Trump administration for using the National Guard to stop the protests that erupted over the immigration attacks that erupted this weekend.
Bonta claimed that President Donald Trump’s decision to enlist the National Guard without governor violated both the 10th Amendment and national laws. Consent from Governor Newsom (D-CA ).
In response, I am suing President Trump and asking the judge to overturn the President’s immoral behavior, federalizing the California National Guard with this order, according to Bonta.
Bonta called Trump’s determination to build the National Guard “unnecessary” and” counterproductive”
There is no invasion, Bonta declared in a speech. There isn’t any uprising. For his own political purposes, the President is attempting to create conflict and crises on the ground. Federalizing the California National Guard is a violation of the President’s constitutional power, and it is not a we take lightly. We request that the order be overturned in a courtroom.
Trump is “putting energy on this fire, always since he announced he was taking over the National Guard,” Newsom said in a tweet on Sunday night, calling the complaint” an illegal work, an evil act, and an unlawful act.” Tomorrow, we’ll put that theory to the test with a complaint.
The complaint claims that President Trump’s extraordinary buy makes an attempt to overthrow state authority and resources by using 10 U.S. C. 12406, a legislation that has only ever been invoked on its own once, when in modern past, and for incredibly unusual circumstances, such as when President Richard Nixon requested the National Guard deliver the mail during the 1970 Postal Service Strike.
On Friday, protests over ICE raids started, prompting Trump to demand the arrival of 2, 000 California National Guard troops in the city. The first 300 people showed up on Sunday. 500 Marines are also “prepared to deploy” to the city.
Mayor of Los Angeles Karen Bass blasted the Trump administration for causing citywide civil unrest and violence at a press conference.

Prior to the raids, Bass claimed at the press conference that “our city was peaceful.”
