ICYMI: Court Will Allow California to Obtain Evidence Regarding Deployment of Federalized National Guard and Marines in California
Case challenging Trump Administration’s unlawful deployment of federalized National Guard and Marines in California moves forward
OAKLAND – California Attorney General Rob Bonta today responded to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California's order last night in California’s lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's unlawful federalization of the California National Guard and deployment of federalized National Guard troops and Marines for civilian law enforcement in Los Angeles. The court’s order (1) grants the state’s request for expedited discovery as to potential Posse Comitatus Act violations; and (2) denies the federal government’s request to transfer the case to the Central District of California.
“President Trump continues to needlessly – and unlawfully – pull California National Guard servicemembers off of counterdrug taskforces and wildfire crews for the singular purpose of furthering his political agenda,” said Attorney General Bonta. “As he has done time and again, President Trump is choosing the path that makes our communities less safe instead of more. We need to know more about what the troops' orders are and how they are being deployed in Los Angeles communities. The court’s order allows us to gather those facts and continue to make our case in court. We will not let the President’s unprecedented overreach of executive authority go unchecked.”
