US EditionCalifornia governor asks court to block Trump administration from using troops in immigration raids
CALIFORNIA, JUN 11 – California Governor Gavin Newsom challenges the Trump administration's deployment of 4,700 troops in Los Angeles, citing constitutional concerns and increased civil unrest amid immigration raids.
- California Governor Gavin Newsom sought an urgent court order to prevent the Trump administration from deploying National Guard troops and Marines to conduct immigration raids in Los Angeles.
- This move came after President Trump directed the deployment of several thousand National Guard troops along with hundreds of Marines in response to protests sparked by increased immigration enforcement.
- Newsom argued the deployment violated state sovereignty and the Tenth Amendment, while the administration insisted the presence was needed to restore order amidst violent protests involving car fires and attacks on police.
- Trump claimed the city would have been "completely obliterated" without troop deployment and left open invoking the Insurrection Act if insurrection arises, while critics stressed constitutional concerns and lack of local consent.
- The court has yet to rule on California's request, and protests continue, with legal and political debates highlighting a rare federal deployment without governor approval since 1965.
