Gov. Newsom sues Trump admin over federalization of California National Guard (IDIOT)
California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the state is suing the Trump administration
due to President Donald Trump federalizing the state’s National Guard —
in response to the violent riots taking place in Los Angeles.
Riots broke out across Los Angeles to protest local raids conducted
by the U.S. Immigrations and Customs Enforcement (ICE), overwhelming
LAPD — prompting a strong response from President Donald Trump.
Rioters were caught on camera torching cars and throwing rocks at
police vehicles, leading to numerous arrests as the federal guard worked
to stamp out the chaotic gathering.
“Donald Trump is putting fuel on this fire. Commandeering a state’s
National Guard without consulting the Governor of that state is illegal
and immoral,” Newsom wrote in an X post on Sunday. “California will be
taking him to court.”
Newsom issued an update on Monday, writing: “This is a manufactured
crisis. [Trump] is creating fear and terror to take over a state militia
and violate the U.S. constitution. The illegal order he signed could
allow him to send the military into ANY STATE HE WISHES. Every governor –
red or blue – should reject this outrageous overreach. There’s a lot of
hyperbole out there. This isn’t that. This is an unmistakable step
toward authoritarianism that threatens the foundation of our republic.
We cannot let it stand.”
NEW: We are suing Donald Trump.
This is a manufactured crisis. He is creating fear and terror to take over a state militia and violate the U.S. constitution.
The illegal order he signed could allow him to send the military into ANY STATE HE WISHES.
I
have formally requested the Trump Administration rescind their unlawful
deployment of troops in Los Angeles county and return them to my
command.
We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved. This is a serious breach of state sovereignty — inflaming tensions while… pic.twitter.com/SYIy81SZdH

“Come after me. Arrest me. Let’s just get it over with, tough guy,” Newsom stated on Sunday.
Newsom’s comment seemingly meant to amplify the narrative that the
Trump administration was overstepping its authority, despite Homan
clarifying his message that nobody is above the law regardless of their
authority.
“Look I’m not biting on that,” Homan responded when directly asked about Newsom’s comment during a segment on MSNBC. “The NBC reporter
that interviewed me is very dishonest. We did a 20 minute interview and
he cuts out a little clip and takes my words out of context.”
“Here’s what I said – they have a right to protest, they have the
first amendment right, but they can’t cross that line. They can’t cross
that line of impediment, they can’t cross that line of putting their
hands on officers, they can’t cross that line of knowing and concealing
an illegal alien because they are all federal crimes,” he continued.
“That includes Mayor [Karen] Bass and Governor Newsom – and I was
clear, they haven’t crossed the line but they’re not above the law
either. If they commit a crime, they certainly would ask for
prosecution. That’s what was happening. I never threatened to arrest
Governor Newsom, so I’m not biting off on that,” he added.
#6 – Tom Homan accuses NBC of deceptive editing, says “I never threatened to arrest Governor Newsom.”
Gavin Newsom publicly challenged Tom Homan to “come after me, arrest me” in an MSNBC interview last night.
Meanwhile, California Attorney General Rob Bonta stated that he plans
on requesting a court order declaring that Trump’s deployment of the
National Guard was unlawful, while acquiring a restraining order against
its deployment.
“Federalizing the California National Guard is an abuse of the
President’s authority under the law and not one we take lightly. We’re
asking a court to put a stop to the unlawful, unprecedented order,” he
wrote in an announcement.
NEWS: @CAGovernor
and I are suing to put a stop to President Trump’s unlawful,
unprecedented order calling federalized National Guard forces into Los
Angeles.
The President is trying to manufacture chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends.
