The state of California will sue the Trump administration over the president’s orders to federalize the 2000 California National Guard troops, which has “needlessly escalated chaos and violence in the Los Angeles region,” Gov. Gavin Newsom said Monday. The lawsuit names President Donald Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and the Department of Defense. Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta maintain the CalGuard takeover violates the U.S. Constitution and exceeds the President’s Title 10 authority, which defines states’ rights.
When news reached the governor Monday afternoon that Trump planned to send 700 U.S. Marines to the Los Angeles area, Newsom called it “un-American” and a misuse of the Marine Corps. In addition, the governor said Monday he’s mobilizing more than 800 state and local law enforcement officers to Los Angeles. “After the President acted illegally to federalize the National Guard, who subsequently became the focus of large scale protests, the state is working with local partners to surge 800+ additional state and local law enforcement officers into Los Angeles to clean up President Trump’s mess,” Newsom said in a news release.
State Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, on Monday called the president’s CalGuard takeover “fascist overreach” and thanked the governor and attorney general for taking court action. “What we’re seeing in Los Angeles — and now other parts of California — is straight up police state fascism,” Wiener said. “Trump is a President, bound by the rule of law, but he is acting like a king. He is not a king, and we must fight against his lawless actions. San Francisco stands united with our brothers and sisters in Los Angeles, arm in arm, against Trump’s brutal, “fascist tactics.”
Surely the NRA will step up after 100 years of rhetoric about government tyranny, right?
Asking for a friend 😇 🔫
Explain to me how the POTUS Federalizing the Army – National Guard to protect to Federal property is tyranny?
Emotional people rationaliize laws as illegal and their urges as emotionally legal.
It’s not tranny. Those liberals want to destroy this country to enact their agenda, anyway they can, as they’ve been trying for these past years. Besides the local rioters more than 1000 paid protestors were bussed in to protest, paid for by–guess!! Fetterman seems to be one of the few Democrats with a brain, to condemn the rioting. Newsome’s hope of ever becoming President has deteriorated, and that is good news.
Was that opinion or exper* * * * *
So many uneducated armchair couch warriors that have zero understanding of how things work. ICE is a federal agency. When they are threatened, (in this case vehicles burned, officers injured) it’s game on. The president can call it in. Call it ALL in. FAFO.
Preach my friend preach.
I glad he skipped telling us what is he usually likes swallowing
Will they be able to find enough pairs of leather chaps in time?
lmao whats up with this head line “wiener” “firm” and “hard to swallow” LOL
Newsom and the majority of Calif Democrat politicians are like those who are addicted to Drugs…. Hooked on Criminals and unable to kick the Habit.
and we did prop up a senile old man and tell everyone he was good and then try to hoodwinkle the rest of the country into electing a word salad.
I will give you this, had Word Salad gotten the presidency, we would not be having THESE ICE issues today … but only because we would have no borders and no longer be known as the United States of America. We would be the laughing stock of the world where every criminal could come and hide in our ‘sanctuary cities’.
nobody did,what country are you posting from?
Now that you admit TRUMP’s not a felon,welcome aboard the TRUMP train!!!!!
Trump Trump Trump Trump Trump (The boys are marching!!)
Convicted felon?
More like bringing to light how the Biden administration corrupted the justice department.
p.s. Why did they never go after Joe for doing the same thing they accused Trump of doing.
And Greg, parroting liberal news media propaganda doesn’t count as an answer.
“Wiener Stands Firm” ….. Geez!
I can hardly wait until Laverne Cox or Andy Dick do something newsworthy.
flavor of the month outrage. Sorry Weiner but you like the governor are a coward and a fool. Reign in the chaos. A protest is fine “I do not like them” but a riot is not and it is good to bring in federal law enforcement that is not bound by soft chinned Ca leaders
As a local gay, I approve of this headline and cannot stop snickering.
The only thing Wiener stands firm on is protecting pedophiles and any legislation relating to sex or LGTTQXYZ345………. And, he should know if the actions taken by ICE are hard to swallow or not!
I’m so glad that the majority of the folks commenting on this article have common sense to understand how despicable of a person Scott Wiener is. How he continues to get elected into office is just a reflection of how lost people in the Bay Area are. These comments give me hope there are normal, rational people still left in society.
Weiner stands firm….🤣
I hope the marines start Smokin’ those god damn liberals!!!
Who cares what the politician who believes in protecting child sexual predators, is in favor of spreading the aids virus, and who thinks that oil companies create the weather says.

Maybe he should stop swallowing so much.
Keep up the good work ICE and National guard to get the illegals and criminals off our streets!!!
Wiener’s hard to swallow
Not sure if anything is hard to swallow for him.
