The temporary restraining order request alleges the deployment “escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest.”

Stephen Breyer's brother Charles Breyer will preside over the lawsuit Newsom brought against the Trump administration in California.

The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

4:47 p.m. EDT The Trump administration asked the judge to reject Newsom’s request and allow it to respond by Wednesday, calling Newsom’s attempt to block the deployment of federal troops “legally meritless” and saying it would jeopardize the safety of Homeland Security personnel and interfere with the government’s ability to carry out operations.

After the Trump administration sent Marines and National Guard troops to Los Angeles in response to the protests against immigration enforcement, Gov. Ron DeSantis proposed adding another group to the mix: the Florida State Guard.

Tensions flared in Los Angeles late Monday after Trump escalated military presence in the region against the wishes of California Gov. Gavin Newsom.
