California Attorney General Rob Bonta has announced his lawsuit against the Trump administration for deploying the National Guard in Los Angeles to contain the riots over the immigration raids that broke out this past weekend.

For months during the 2024 campaign, Donald Trump promised to use the military domestically. His campaign telegraphed it via news coverage and reports from friendly nonprofits; Trump mused about using soldiers against protests.

President Donald Trump ordered the deployment of 2,000 National Guards troops to quell immigration protests in Los Angeles, overriding California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s objections in a rare move.
