Newsom says California will sue Trump: On Monday, California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) announced that the state would file a lawsuit against the Trump administration for using the National Guard to put down protests against federal immigration sweeps in Los Angeles.
“The lawsuit would challenge Trump’s federalisation of the California National Guard without the state’s consent, a move with little precedent in U.S. history,” Newsom said in an interview on MSNBC on Sunday night.
“The circumstances you see on your TV tonight were brought about by Donald Trump. He has made the situation worse. He’s lit the figurative match, you know.Newsom stated on MSNBC that since he announced his intention to take over the National Guard, he has been exacerbating the situation, which is illegal, unethical, and unconstitutional..
“And tomorrow, we’re going to test that theory with a lawsuit,” he continued.
According to Trump’s executive order, “it specifically notes — and under what the [Department of Defense] did — is they had to coordinate with the governor of the state,” Newsom said when asked to expand on the complaint. “They never worked together with the state governor,” he claimed.
According to Newsom, he has already sent out the National Guard to handle a variety of crises.
“We have no issues, cooperating with local law enforcement through a mutual aid mechanism. However, thereare procedures and protocolsl. That didn’t matter to him. The worst aspect, he stated, was that he lied outright.
The governor cited Trump’s earlier Sunday Truth Social post, in which he praised the National Guard for their “excellent performance.”Newsom asserted that the state had not even dispatched any forces at that time..Lying to people is illegal, unconstitutional, and creates an Orwellian situation.
. We’re working to tidy things up,” he continued.
Newsom was questioned later in the interview over remarks made by border czar Tom Homan that he would not rule out arresting him or Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass if they obstructed his work.
“Arrest me and come after me. You know, tough man, let’s just get it done. I could care less. But my community is important to me. “This community is important to me,” he added.
What on earth are they doing? These men must mature. We must push back, and they must stop. I apologise for being so direct, but that type of droning is tiresome. Newsom went on. So, arrest me, Tom. Let’s leave.
