California has challenged the administration's move to call up the National Guard over the objections of Governor Gavin Newsom.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom had sued Trump in an attempt to block the deployment of federal troops in the city, which Newsom has called a “serious breach of state sovereignty.”

Protests in Los Angeles and San Francisco escalated after Trump deployed the National Guard without California’s approval. Demonstrators clashed with police, blocking freeways and setting cars ablaze amid heavy arrests.
