US EditionCalifornia asks court to end federalization of National Guard
California argues the prolonged federal deployment of nearly 4,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles lacks legal basis and costs taxpayers nearly $120 million, seeking their return to state control.
- On Friday, Attorney General Rob Bonta and Governor Gavin Newsom renewed a motion in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California to end federal control of Guard troops in Los Angeles.
- After a June 7 memorandum, the administration deployed about 4,000 federalized California National Guard troops and 700 U.S. Marines, while California says the Aug. 5 order extending federalization lacks basis.
- The U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled against Trump's deployment in September, and the filing cited troop movements to Oregon and Illinois where federal courts have blocked deployments.
- Approximately 200 members of California's National Guard are now hundreds of miles away, hindering response, with the deployment costing nearly $120 million since June, and orders ongoing since last month.
- The Supreme Court could act as soon as next week on the emergency request; on Oct. 29, a court ruled the Northern District has jurisdiction while the U.S. Department of Justice argued for unlimited presidential deployment authority, which California officials oppose.
