Even after a federal appeals court ruled against them, California Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta are continuing to seek court orders limiting President Donald Trump’s power to use the National Guard to help address riots from leftists and others seeking to use unrest to impede federal immigration enforcement in L.A.
On June 23, Newsom and Bonta filed a brief in San Francisco federal court, asserting U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer could still limit “how long, where, and for what purpose” Trump can use the National Guard.
Newsom’s and Bonta’s assertions were lodged four days after the U.S. Ninth Circuit of Appeals tossed aside Breyer’s initial order declaring Trump had exceeded his authority by ordering 4,000 members of the California National Guard into service in response to riots in Los Angeles.
On June 19, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit ruled Breyer was wrong.
In an action filed June 9, Newsom had argued the president must essentially first secure his permission before activating the California National Guard to respond to domestic unrest.
