The states say Trump's actions implicate their interest in "ensuring that the deployment of their National Guard units is governed by the rule of law, and not the whims of the President." The post ‘Unlimited claim of presidential authority’: States tag team with Newsom to bash Trump’s National Guard action as a threat to ‘foundational American traditions’ first appeared on Law & Crime.

Governor Gavin Newsom accused President Donald Trump of being “not all there” as the pair ramp up their war of words over federal troops being deployed to Los Angeles. The California governor made the damning accusation about the 78-year-old president during an interview on The Daily podcast.

The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.

What the judge rules, and the likely appeals that follow, may alter decades of understanding about the roles of governors and the White House in quelling domestic unrest.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

Trump lawyers told the court that Trump has "no obligation" to consult, or even notify California Gov. Newsom before federalizing National Guard troops to quell anti-ICE protests.
