California has launched a legal battle, asserting that the Trump administration's move to deploy the National Guard is a violation of both the state's sovereignty and federal law. The action comes amid heightened tensions and public unrest.
The deployment, initiated by President Trump on Saturday, is seen by Democratic critics as an unwarranted escalation in response to protests over immigration raids in the southern part of the state.
This legal challenge marks a new chapter in the ongoing dispute between California and the federal government, raising questions about state versus federal authority in managing civil unrest.
