California Governor Gavin Newsom has criticized President Donald Trump’s use of the National Guard in Los Angeles, calling it an example of ‘authoritarian’ behavior. In a statement, Newsom emphasized that the Ninth Circuit Court’s ruling against Trump’s claims about his immunity from judicial review is a victory, though he acknowledges the ongoing conflict over the control of National Guard troops. Newsom and Attorney, General Rob Bonta are continuing their legal challenge against Trump’s deployment of the military, which occurred without the governor’s authorization and violated federal regulations.
