California Governor Gavin Newsom announced that the state will file a lawsuit against the Trump administration for deploying the National Guard to address protests in Los Angeles. Newsom criticized Trump for federalizing the California National Guard without the state's consent, calling it an illegal, immoral, and unconstitutional act. The lawsuit aims to challenge the legality of Trump's actions and the lack of coordination with the state governor.
Newsom highlighted the importance of following protocols and processes when deploying the National Guard, emphasizing the need for collaboration with local law enforcement. He criticized Trump for lying about the National Guard's involvement in the protests and expressed readiness to face any consequences for defending his community.

The lawsuit against the Trump administration reflects Newsom's commitment to upholding the state's rights and protecting its residents. By challenging the federalization of the National Guard without consent, Newsom aims to hold the administration accountable for its actions and ensure that proper protocols are followed in future deployments.
