Hey, I wonder if we can get Gavin Newsom behind the movement to repeal the 17th Amendment and a return to the 10th Amendment in full?
California says Trump’s deployment of National Guard violates state sovereignty
California is suing to reverse President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles, arguing that the use of the military to suppress immigration protests is an illegal and unconstitutional intrusion on state authority.
Trump’s deployment of as many as 4,000 National Guard troops has sapped the state of crucial emergency resources and came without consultation with Gov. Gavin Newsom, according to the 22-page lawsuit, filed Monday afternoon in federal court in San Francisco.
Though Trump initially declared his intent to send 2,000 troops to L.A., both the lawsuit and Newsom himself suggested he had revealed plans to double that number to 4,000. And just before the lawsuit was filed, Trump ordered 700 Marines to L.A. to support the Guard troops.
The absence of consultation, California’s attorneys say, makes Trump’s deployment unlawful. The lawsuit echoes Newsom’s comments earlier Monday in an interview with POLITICO.
“There was no communication through our office, period, full stop. So, by definition, it’s an illegal act,” Newsom, a Democrat, said, adding that the president failed to meet other key prerequisites for the deployment.
Well, you know that Gavin is going to find a friendly liberal judge to rule in his favor, then it is going to have to go through appeals and such, and, by that time, ICE will have concluded their operations. I wonder, though, where were all these sovereignty folks when Biden was jamming all sorts of restrictions on COVID down our throats? And other things?
A White House spokesperson said the California governor should thank Trump “for restoring law and order.”
“Gavin Newsom should march back to his Attorney General’s office to prosecute the anti-ICE rioters who burned property and looted businesses in Los Angeles. It’s pathetic that Newsom is more focused on saving face than protecting law enforcement and holding criminals accountable,” White House spokesperson Anna Kelly said.
The best part is that these are Democrats burning and destroying Democrat stuff in a Democrat city.
The Guard wouldn’t have needed to be mobilized if Newsom (D) and Bass (D) had done their jobs.
Isn’t it interesting how protesting a coup de publique, i.e. J6, is seditious conspiracy, while violently protesting immigration laws – which Trump was elected to enforce – is somehow brave and noble?
Commenter:
That is word for word what General Secretary trump (M) ejaculated to justify the illegal* Los Federales occupation of California!!

* Mr trump has not invoked the necessary laws to permit occupation of a U.S. state by his Stasi.
It’s pretty simple. Mr trump illegally sent U.S. Marines and National Guard to invade the state of California. There are now 4700 combat trained Los Federales occupying California.
Do you agree that the residents of California should arm themselves and fight back?
What if President Obama had sent thousands of U.S. troops to Oklahoma to enforce only teaching facts in public schools?

President Eisenhower, in direct opposition to Governor Orval Faubus, ordered the 101st Airborne Division to Little Rock, and federalized the entire Arkansas National Guard, in direct opposition to Governor Faubus, to enforce the integration of Little Rock Central High School.
President Johnson, in direct opposition to Governor George Wallace, federalized the Alabama National Guard to protect civil rights marchers going from Selma to Montgomery.
I’m guessing that you already knew that, but hoped that no one else would when you wrote your silly comment.
Mr Dana reaches back over half a century to find when a U.S. President overrode (legally) a governor and sent in the National Guard. Of course, that was to protect the civil rights of black Americans – a cause oppposed by MAGAts to this day. The peaceful march from Selma to Montgomery was opposed by the segregationist Gov George Wallace who refused to protect the marchers from the white mob and the state and local police. President Johnson acted. And legally. Violence, including murders, against peaceful black protesters was widespread in the South at the time. The Alabama State Police had previously attacked peaceful marchers and beaten them with clubs. Mr Dana is old enough to remember that “Bloody Sunday”.
Although Mr trump and his hechmen referred to the protesters as “insurrectionists, the cowardly Mr trump refused to invoke the Insurrection Act.
ED: “[President] Trump illegally (sic) sent U.S. Marines and National Guard…”
Also ED, June 8, 2025: “Yes, President Biden should have sent in hundreds of National Guard troops…”
Remember folks: Whether an action by the President is illegal or warranted is determined solely by his political affiliation.
Trump sent Marines from California to … California. The Horror! Tyranny!!!
We will expect the body count to mount as these Californians resort to a killing spree against each other. The Marine Corps is already dropping requisitions for more ammunition.
Despite Mr Dowd’s and the rest of the left’s whining, 77,302,580 Americans voted for Donald Trump, and his campaign promise to deport all illegal immigrants.
Do you know where the National Guard were not called out? The Guard were not called to go to the anti-ICE protest in Asheville, North Carolina, where the demonstrators were angry about the deportations, but were nevertheless entirely peaceable during their protest.
I reported, 13 months ago, on how the pro-Hamas and pro-Palestinian activists conducted a nevertheless peaceable protest on the University of Kentucky campus. The First Amendment guarantees the right of the people to peaceably assemble to protest, and I absolutely support that. The President called out the National Guard in the Pyrite State because the savages were not protesting peaceably.
The whiny Mr Dana ignores that Vice-President Harris received 75,017,613 votes and Mr trump received less than half the total!! Clearly, the trump voters were wrong. trump made many promises and has kept but one. No on Ukraine, inflation, Gaza, trade, balanced budget… but he promised to change America, and he has.
Winning a narrow plurality does not authorize trump to do anything he wants, even with a compliant Supreme Court and cowering Representatives and Senators.
There is absolutely zero chance that trump will deport 20 million or even 10 million undocumented residents. Zero. This is all for show to get his remaining far-right MAGAts hard. You can’t openly beat blacks or gays but “illegals” are fair game.
As I’ve written to my Rep and Senators, Congress needs to “nut up” and fix our badly broken immigration system. trump is thoughtless and incompetent. America has several millions of undocumented immigrants living and working in the United States, many with American citizen spouses and children.
Far-right Senator Rod Lankford (R-OK) proposed an immigration bill but candidate trump nixed it. What would he campaign on if our broken immigration system was addressed? The feckless MeConnell and the uber-rich Musk got trump elected.
Mr Dana ignores that Calironia is NOT a red state, but is the right’s bête noire, unlike Kentucky and North Carolina. trump’s actions on LA had NO effect other than for propaganda.
Border czarina, Homan, threatened (with trump’s urging) to arrest Governor Newsom and Mayor Bass. Homan has no authority to arrest anyone. Just more phony tough guy bluster.
Rimjob’s is losing it though some doubt he ever had it in the first place.
The official spokestroll for Mr Dana and Mr teach, the prolific Mr Pissant, once again uses few words to construct a sentence that is even less than its parts!!! LOL!!
That’s the lead statement in your comment, dumbass, copied and pasted. Hard to make any sense of it.
Are you really this retarded?
Bwaha! Lolgfy Moron!
The Pissant. ignorant POS that it is, and gaslighter-in-chief for teach, is upset that it can’t understand anything.
More American voters voted against trump than voted for him.
And while a slight majority approve of trump’s anti-immigration policies in general, just a little over 40% said they think trump’s crackdown is making America safer.
But that’s not what you typed, Rimjob. Perhaps you’re the only one who can understand your mistakes.

The distinguished Mr Dowd fails to understand that we have only one President at a time, and, to quote “Viper” in Top Gun, there are no points for second place.
Our feminist friend from St Louie wrote:
Tom Homan is, of course, male, but just like our oh-so-inclusive friends on the left use aspersions of homosexuality to insult conservatives, Mr Dowd wants to call Mr Homan a “czarina,” in effect calling him feminine is something Mr Dowd finds to be an insult.
The very upset Mr Dowd wrote:
That’s just it: our immigration system is not broken. The only problem is that soft-hearted and soft-headed Democratic Presidents didn’t enforce our existing immigration laws.
Would Mr Trump be President today if his predecessor had simply enforced our immigration laws?
That is a bit disingenuous since the guard and Marines aren’t doing that. Their mission is to protect federal government buildings, not restore order.
This part is actually true, though since LA Mayor claims the situation is under control, I don’t know why they need those resources. There is a little known fact that a large number of LAPD officers (>30%) are also serving in the National Guard to pick up some extra cash. So, when the Guard gets deployed, like during the Rodney King Riots, it actually results in FEWER police on the streets. For that reason, first responders should be forbidden from serving in the National Guard (placed on indefinite leave) so that their body isn’t being counted twice as a resource. As long as the units are drawn from locations farther away from LA, this shouldn’t be a problem, but likely it was from the local armory.
My own read of 10USC shows the California case is meritless on its face, but that won’t stop a loyal democratic party judge from supporting it anyway.
Another useful fact: The national guard is funded 95% by the federal government. They are in no way a “state militia” and the state governments have no ability to veto deployment orders. Some state remedy this by creating an actual state militia. During the Bush administration, some governors tried to halt deployments to the gulf wars and were unsuccessful in court. The president has absolute uncontested authority to mobilize the national guard and call them to federal service. (Hint: It’s in the name NATIONAL Guard).
Trump could easily make this case Moot by using guard units from Nevada and Utah. I suspect he used California troops because they were cheaper and didn’t require travel time and convoys.
The use of Marines is also totally legit since they are being sent to guard a federal building, not assist law enforcement. The Democrats know this. They are just using the situation to gear up for the mid-terms.

Bwaha! Lolgf!
If you can’t trust Noem, Patel, Blondi, czarina Homan and pjmedia who can you trust? LOL
Mad Maxine Waters.
Bwaha! Lolgfy Moron!
We can trust CNN when they tell us a protest is peaceful while showing burning cars and buildings.
You certainly trust them. And you sit there and wonder just why in the world Trump got more votes than Kamala.
Representative Waters pleading with the trumptroopers not to shoot anyone, which is a possibility in a live ammo war game promoted by demented donnie.
It’s all on tape and pretty hard to miss even for a retard like you.
