Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit againstĀ President Donald TrumpĀ over his decision to send U.S. Marines and National Guard troops into Los Angeles to manage escalating protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
The legal challenge fromĀ California Governor Gavin NewsomĀ aims to block federal troops from enforcing immigration laws, accusing the White House of overstepping its authority. The lawsuit, filed in federal court, argues that the presidentās use of active-duty military in domestic law enforcement violates the Posse Comitatus Act. Newsom said the move was āan illegal and dangerous escalationā of federal power. The legal action comes after President Trump ordered military personnel to Los Angeles in response to what he described as āviolent and destructiveā protests targeting ICE facilities.
