California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) and the state’s attorney general filed their much-anticipated lawsuit over President Trump’s decision to send in California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to quell immigration protests, calling it an “unprecedented power grab.”

Filed in federal court in San Francisco on Monday afternoon, the suit asks a federal judge to block Trump’s authorization as an unconstitutional incursion into state authority under the 10th Amendment.


“One of the cornerstones of our Nation and our democracy is that our people are governed by civil, not military, rule,” the 22-page complaint reads.

Trump is the first president to deploy a state’s National Guard without the consent of a governor since President Lyndon B. Johnson in 1965 sent troops to Alabama to protect civil rights protesters.

It will make its way to the Supreme Court one day.
