California will sue the Trump administration over its decision to send in National Guard troops in response to protests over immigration enforcement, the state’s attorney general said on Monday.The lawsuit will seek to set aside President Trump’s order calling in the National Guard despite Gov.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta says the state’s sovereignty was “trampled” by President Donald Trump when he ordered National Guard troops to the immigration protests in Los Angeles.

State AG Rob Bonta accused the federal government of infringing on Gov. Gavin Newsom’s authority as commander-in-chief of the California National Guard.

Newsom plans to file suit against the Trump administration to roll back the National Guard deployment, which he called “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”

State law, in fact, specifically prohibits local law enforcement from working with federal immigration enforcement operations in most instances.
