Los Angeles, CA…Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta are standing up all states by filing a lawsuit and request to block President Trump and the Department of Defense’s illegal militarization of Los Angeles and the takeover of a California National Guard (Cal Guard) unit. The lawsuit and motion for an emergency temporary restraining order are crucial steps in holding President Trump accountable for his unwarranted and illegal overstep and for putting our democracy and our safety at risk.
Here’s why the federal takeover of the Cal Guard unit must be stopped:
The President’s takeover was not just about California — this action puts EVERY state at risk.
While the President’s rhetoric is aimed at California, his order applies to every state in the country. On June 7, one day after the protests began, President Trump issued a memorandum purporting to authorize the Department of Defense to call up 2,000 National Guard personnel into federal service for a period of 60 days, and declaring a “form of rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States” and directing the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with state governors and the National Guard to commandeer state militias.
This order was not specific to California and suggests that the President could assume control of any state militia.
The law the President cited to take over a state guard requires the Governor’s approval.
The U.S. Constitution and the Title 10 authority the President invoked require that the Governor consent to federalization of the National Guard, which Governor Newsom was not given the opportunity to do prior to their deployment and which he confirmed he had not given shortly after their deployment. The President’s unlawful order infringes on Governor Newsom’s role as Commander-in-Chief of the California National Guard and violates the state’s sovereign right to control and have available its National Guard in the absence of a lawful invocation of federal power.
There’s no insurrection, no matter how many times Trump says the word out loud.
The situation in Los Angeles didn’t meet the criteria for federalization, which includes invasion by a foreign country, rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States, and being unable to execute federal laws. That is not the case in the Los Angeles area, where local and state law enforcement have remained vigilant and in control and able to subdue unlawful activity.
Local law enforcement had it handled, and the federal government wasn’t equipped to step in.
By the time the National Guard arrived on Sunday morning, the protests had dissipated thanks to local law enforcement, and the streets were quiet. The President’s Actions and the military presence actually inflamed the very protest and violence it was supposedly meant to suppress. The introduction of a military presence on city streets has only led to larger crowds and more problems for law enforcement to solve.
Cal Guard has other things to do… like emergency response and drug interdiction.
The federalization of the California National Guard deprives California of resources to protect itself and its citizens, including those working on drug interdiction at the border, and of critical responders in the event of a state of emergency — such as the January 2025 firestorm in Los Angeles, which Cal Guard responded to.
You can’t threaten to arrest a Governor, just because you don’t agree with them.
We live in a democracy — and the President’s actions and subsequent threats put it at risk. As Governor Newsom said, President Trump’s actions here are “an unmistakable step towards authoritarianism.”
Watch the Governor speak about the lawsuit here.

Fuck you Governor Barney Bad Ass…,,,
I’d vote for Charles Manson before I voted for you.
What we see here is a manufactured police riot.
History is replete with this.
It always has a political angle .
This weekend is the military display orgy .
$Millions will be spent on repairs after it.
The don is all hopped up with his fantasies of a blood bath for his entry into dictator ship using the insurrection lie he has almost worn out already.
His hate rhetoric against the many ICE is illegally rounding up is way beyond any rational meme.
Count down to the dictatorship attempt.
Will the Republicans allow this ?
Nixon anyone?
MIA- Republicans who swore to our Constitution.
Manufactured riot, yes. From the left, just like Floyd, etc. Where did all the billions of dollars hurled out the door to NGO’s in the last days of Biden’s “Presidency” go?? Now you know.
The left just loves a good riot, nothing makes them happier to go on looting sprees, creating havoc and then blaming someone else for their lawlessness.
Maybe people are actually angry about the secret police stealing their neighbors
Well then, I guess it’s time to thrash their neighborhood and burn the cars of innocent people and loot/thrash innocent peoples businesses. That will show Trump!!
Do you really think LA is rioting?!? lol
Democrats like you are crying all across our Nation, especially when even CNN made a breaking new alert.
”CNN abruptly interrupted its live news broadcast to deliver an update on Donald Trump, signaling promising developments for the President.
The network revealed Trump’s immigration approval ratings are surging like a “rocket,” despite the ICE protests which have broken out in Los Angeles.”
Your life and your CORRUPT political has been nothing but a joke. Your not very happy since the legacy media and the previous administration were FINALLY caught in the cover up of the century. Just like the corrupt media, the previous administration and the last of your pathetic party cult, you’re hatred and bigotry is showing your true colors.
A former democrat, who puts our Country and our Constitution FIRST before any political party.
Discussing the ongoing riots taking place across the country during a Fox News interview this week, popular podcast host Patrick Bet-David exposed the Democrats’ disturbing desire for a new martyr to further inflame the left’s anti-Trump revolution.
Bet-David pointed out Democrats and the media are pulling on the heartstrings of liberals in order to get them emotional and mobilize the masses.
Communist groups and Soros-funded activists are planning a nationwide “protest” for Saturday, falling on President Trump’s birthday, Flag Day and a massive military parade for the 250th anniversary of the creation of the U.S. Army.
Speaking about the leftist NGOs, Bet-David said, “You know what they’re looking for? I hate to say this, they’re looking for their next George Floyd. That is all they need. They need one person, they need one massive crisis. They have no policies, they have good ideas.”
I’m shocked all you “don’t tread on me” guys are cheering for unidentified masked government goons kidnapping people off from their jobs and schools without any due process.
What’s wrong with that, tin foil man.
This must end soon my house keeper and my gardener are afraid to leave home and we are running low on clean clothes and this house needs to be cleaned before Father’s Day so in hopes this will stop soon
That’s what happen when you have cheap help.
Mr. Governor Gavin Newsom watching your televised speech last night I was crying and sobbing, because I was laughing so hard…,,,
Good Day for mexican heads to roll.
That Trump keeps on winning in the Polls, Tariffs, and Protester, and Stormy Daniels, I apologize Donald, Elon
I CAN’T take it Trump keeps on winning, Sniveler
They should use the CalFire bombers and choppers to dump indelible blue ink on the rioters so they can be identified later.
If rioters come to your area, please don’t be a litterbug. Pick up your brass.
No Brass no Ammo Drill Sergeant.
Are Mexican’s good eating?
Mexican’s know how to fuck up a good car.
^^ No, but your daughter is.
Sniveler go get ready for Gay Pride Day on Saturday.
Sadly maga cheers on a wannbe dictator.
He is using the dehumanizing crude descriptions and lies of criminals used by Putin, Orban, Duda, and the don’s mentor Hitler.
And you magas eat it up.
It is a sorry time we are in, another stolen election, #1 bush, #2 trump 1st now second term both by dubious voter purges, which would by rights be Democratic , except for the voter purges- 4.5million according to the FEC in 2024. The red states with aggressive voter purges, and a duplicitous SCOTUS got us here.
Now we have a cult majority in all 3 branches of government, a minority that has to be stated, all due to voter purges.
Cheating has worked very well for the Republicans.
Not a supposition, a fact.
Now the majority is fed up with this criminal administration which pisses on our Constitution, with no redress with a partisan final arbitrator- the SCOTUS, also illegitimately installed again from voter purges.
So America now drifts swiftly into authoritarianism, with sham elections due to voter purges.
McConnel’s, and Robert’s smirk show the satisfaction they feel after laying the groundwork for over a decade.
Disgusting.
Just gave myself a coffee enema gearing up for Gay Pride Saturday, Sniveler
Looking for a ride to Sacramento on Saturday for the Gay Pride Events. I have no money for gas but you can take it out in trade, Yours Truly Sniveler xoxo
