California Sues Trump Over National Guard Deployment Amid Protests

California leaders announced plans to sue President Trump over his recent deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles, arguing that he overstepped his authority by not consulting Governor Gavin Newsom. The state is currently on high alert following a surge of protests against immigration raids. Over the weekend, tensions escalated with more than 150 arrests, and nearby areas like San Francisco and New York City are witnessing similar demonstrations. Trump has labeled the protesters as "insurrectionists," raising concerns over his potential use of military powers to address the unrest. Meanwhile, journalists covering the events face danger, with reports of injuries from nonlethal projectiles during clashes.

In the face of increasing unrest, California officials are prepared to challenge federal decisions, emphasizing the importance of state authority in crises related to immigration enforcement.
