California AG outlines decision to sue Trump administration
California Attorney General Rob Bonta outlined why he and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are suing the Trump administration, saying President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.
The Trump administration "unlawfully invoked a law that’s intended to prevent an invasion by a foreign nation or [prevent] a rebellion or [in response to] local and state law enforcement [making] it so that the laws of the United States cannot be executed," Bonta explained at a news conference. "Those are the only three triggers that would provide for the invocation of the National Guard, and none of them were present here."

Bonta said the situation didn’t warrant the National Guard and Trump's "counterproductive" decision to send the troops in "skipped over multiple rational, common sense, strategic steps that should’ve been deployed to quell unrest." (edited)
