California's attorneys are challenging the deployment of National Guard and Marines participating in law enforcement by filing a lawsuit to prohibit their street patrols. They argue the troops have been enforcing civil laws, which they deem inappropriate. An immediate restraining order was requested, but the judge advised the Trump administration to respond first. This case stems from President Trump invoking a legal provision that allows federal troop deployment amid perceived threats to government authority, raising concerns about civil rights and military involvement in policing.
The state’s attorneys want the judge to order the National Guard troops back to their regular assignments, prohibiting them from aiding in law enforcement actions.
On Monday, California filed suit, asking for an immediate restraining order against the deployment of armed troops for law enforcement.
Trump invoked a rarely-used legal provision to deploy federal service members, citing a rebellion or danger against the authority of the U.S. government.
The hearing was scheduled for Thursday, as the judge requested a response from the Trump administration by Wednesday.
