Gavin Newsom: California Suing Trump for ‘Illegal’ Deployment of National Guard
Breitbart ^ | 06/09/2025 | Olivia Rondeau

Posted on 06/09/2025 1:03:04 PM PDT by ChicagoConservative27

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) announced his plans to sue the Trump administration for “illegally act[ing] to federalize the National Guard” to contain the Los Angeles anti-deportation riots, accusing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth of being “in over his head.”

When asked by left-wing YouTuber Brian Taylor Cohen if he has any “confidence” that Hegseth will be as “principled” as former Defense Secretary Mark Esper was on Monday, Newsom coldly responded, “Pete Hegseth is a joke. He’s a joke. Everybody knows it, so in over his head. What an embarrassment.”

“That guy’s just weakness masquerading as strength. I don’t even know if he masquerades as strength… I mean, this Homan guy, these guys… it’s just the band of misfits. It really is,” the governor continued. “This is serious, people’s lives are at stake. The reputation of this country is at stake.”

He went on to say that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard, prompted by the ongoing violent protest against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officials that sparked last week, “is a preview of things to come” to other cities.

“This is not about LA, per se. This is about us today, it’s about you and everyone watching tomorrow,” Newsom argued. “I promise you. I mean, this guy is unhinged. Donald Trump is unhinged right now.”

well okay, then just send in our regular armed forces, since he’s the commander in chief.

I’d love to see an A-10 tank killers making a few mini gun pass on the rioters.

Good-hair Gov Gavin called the show of force by the Trump administration “uncool.”

“What we have here in peaceful LA are mostly peaceful migrants making their voices mostly peacefully heard by throwing peaceful Molotov cocktails and peacefully looting businesses,” Newsom said.

“All of which is protected by the Bill of Rights. Read the Constitution.”


Shocker. Who knew the boy gov even noticed we have a Constitution?

Gov. Newsom is a very busy man. So I suppose he’s never had time to read the Insurrection Act of 1807.

Put down the hair gel Gavin, and take a moment to read that Act. And hey, maybe you won’t agree with it. Then get your D buddies in Congress to repeal it.

In the meantime…

This was their plan. They deliberately planned and implemented the riot, knowing that Trump would send in the Guard. Then they sued Trump for sending in the Guard.

This has already been litigated. Dukakis vs. Department of Defense, USSC, 1988 which held that the President (DoD) exercised plenary power over the national guard.
Plenary: full; complete; entire; absolute; unqualified:

Gavin Newsom is conspiring to violate U.S. immigration law and should be arrested.
