San Francisco (KGO) – A federal court in San Francisco weighs whether the Trump government had the authority to federalize the National Guard and the Marines in response to protests in Los Angeles about immigration raids.
Gov. Gavin Newsom President Donald Trump sued for the use of members of the California National Guard without first informing him immediately. The complaint, submitted on Monday, claims that the troop implementations were ‘unnecessary and counterproductive’.

“There is no invasion. There is no rebellion. The president tries to produce chaos and crisis on the spot for his own political purposes,” said the attorney -general Rob Bonta in California in a statement on Monday. “Federalization of the National Guard of California is an abuse of the president’s authority under the law – and not one that we take lightly.”
The Ministry of Justice called the lawsuit a “gross political stunt that endangers American life” in a Wednesday court application.
Right questions state, the fires about whether Trump has followed the law
In a Thursday hearing, the American district judge Charles Breyer indicated that he could give a provisional order with regard to the use of the guard, but not on the Marines.
He asked both parties to answer whether or not the president has met the statute, 10 USC 12406, who defines the circumstances in which an US president can federalize the National Guard.
At one point striking, judge Charles Breyer-the younger brother of the retired American Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer-a wallet in the Pocketbook and emphasized the lawyers that he is familiar with Article II and says he read it again on Thursday morning.
The federal government eventually argued, Trump adhered to the statute, with the argument that he expressed the grant of the authority to call up and federalize the National Guard.

Both Breyer and Brett Shumate – Assistant US attorney – general – sparkled about how Trump communicated his order.
On Saturday, the president ordered around 4,000 members of the National Guard to Los Angeles and later ordered around 700 Marines to respond to the protests about enforcement of immigration. Trump initially sent the memo to the Ministry of Defense and the Adjutant General of the National Guard of California.
Nicholas Green – who argued on behalf of the California Department of Justice – emphasized this copy of executive power consumption for “police civil communities” “is breathtaking of scope”.
“They say that the president can federalize the guard and use when he perceives that there is disobedience,” said Green. “That is a dangerous expansion of the federal executive power.”
The hearing lasted a little more than an hour. Breyer said he hopes to have a statement towards the end of the day.
