The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) said in a podcast episode Thursday that President Trump did not discuss sending the National Guard to Los Angeles when the two recently spoke to each other before

Gavin Newsom condemned President Donald Trump's deployment of the military in Los Angeles as a "brazen abuse of power" in a televised speech Tuesday, as protesters across the United States expressed anger over the Trump administration's workplace immigration raids.
