California Gov. Gavin Newsom had sued Trump in an attempt to block the deployment of federal troops in the city, which Newsom has called a “serious breach of state sovereignty.”

Gavin Newsom’s renewed control of the California National Guard didn’t last more than a few hours thanks to a federal appeals court. “The request for an administrative stay is GRANTED,” the court wrote in a short order tonight after the White House and DOJ came up short this afternoon in their bid

In Governor Gavin Newsom’s address to California, he warned of an assault on democracy. “California may be first – but it clearly won’t end here. Other states are next. Democracy is next. Democracy is under assault right before our eyes.

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.

California’s governor issued a warning to other states as he decried Trump’s decision to deploy the National Guard without his support.
