California asks an emergency order blocking Trump administration from using National Guard to enforce laws within the state

California attorneys sought a federal judge on Tuesday for an emergency injunction prohibiting the Trump administration from deploying National Guard soldiers to execute state laws, including aiding federal agents with immigration enforcement.

The state's request for a temporary restraining order comes a day after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit against President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over their decision to federalize members of the state's National Guard to assist in the federal response to protests in Los Angeles.

Attorneys for the state informed the court that the sought injunction, "will prevent the use of federalized National Guard and active duty Marines for law enforcement purposes on the streets of a civilian city."

Trump and Hegseth "intend to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids throughout Los Angeles," California Attorney General Bob Bonta stated in court documents.

"Federal antagonization, through the presence of soldiers in the streets, has already caused real and irreparable damage to the City of Los Angeles, the people who live there, and the State of California," according to the petition. "They must be stopped, immediately."

Earlier Tuesday, the case was assigned to senior US District Judge Charles R. Breyer of the federal trial court in San Francisco. Breyer, an appointment of former President Bill Clinton, has yet to react to the emergency request.
