US EditionThe legal battle over Trump’s use of the National Guard moves to a California courtroom
- On June 9, California Governor Gavin Newsom initiated legal action against President Trump, challenging the unauthorized federal activation of thousands of state National Guard members and Marines deployed in the Los Angeles area.
- The suit arose after protests erupted over immigration raids and the Trump administration invoked a rarely used law allowing federal control of the Guard under certain conditions.
- A three-day bench trial beginning Monday in San Francisco, overseen by Judge Charles R. Breyer, will assess whether the federal government's deployment of troops violated longstanding laws that restrict the use of the military in domestic law enforcement and limit federal authority in favor of states’ rights.
- Trump’s legal team contended that the allegations related to the Posse Comitatus Act lack legal merit, whereas Newsom’s attorneys argue that the president exceeded his lawful authority and encroached upon the state’s constitutional powers.
- The trial outcome could set significant precedent about executive power over domestic military use, as the appeals court currently allows federal control of remaining 250 troops in California.
