California Governor Plans To File Lawsuit Against Trump Over National Guard Deployment To Protests

Gavin Newsom said he planned to file a lawsuit against Trump in response to the administration’s extraordinary deployment of the National Guard to confront immigration protesters who took to the streets in Los Angeles.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom said he planned to file a lawsuit Monday against President Donald Trump in response to the administration’s extraordinary deployment of the National Guard to confront immigration protesters who took to the streets in Los Angeles.

“Commandeering a state’s National Guard without consulting the Governor of that state is illegal and immoral,” Newsom, a Democrat, told MSNBC on Sunday.

Newsom, meanwhile, has repeatedly said that California authorities had the situation under control. He mocked Trump for posting a congratulatory message to the Guard on social media before troops had even arrived in Los Angeles, and he told MSNBC that Trump never floated deploying the Guard during a Friday phone call. He called Trump a “stone cold liar.”

UPI: L.A. protests: Glendale terminates detention contract with ICE, DHS

Officials in Glendale, Calif., abruptly cancelled the city’s contract with Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs and Enforcement under which the local police department holds immigration detainees on their behalf.

The city said in a news release Sunday night, two days after large protests broke out in Los Angeles over ICE raids on Hispanic neighborhoods, that it had made the decision because its association with ICE had become too “divisive.”

Other communities should follow suit — life will be much safer without ICE’s military caravans terrorizing neighborhoods.
