California asks court for emergency order blocking Trump administration from using National Guard to enforce laws in the state

from CNN's Devan Cole


Attorneys for California asked a federal judge on Tuesday for an emergency order that would temporarily prohibit the Trump administration from using members of the state’s National Guard to enforce laws in the state, including by assisting federal officials with immigration enforcement.

The request from the state for a temporary restraining order comes a day after Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom sued President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over their decision to federalize members of the state’s National Guard to aid in the federal response to protests happening in and around Los Angeles.

The requested order, attorneys for the state told the court, “will prevent the use of federalized National Guard and active duty Marines for law enforcement purposes on the streets of a civilian city.” But they noted that they were not seeking to prevent the federalized National Guard members from “protecting the safety of federal buildings or other real property owned or leased by the federal government, or federal personnel on such property.”
