Calif. Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) on Tuesday filed for an emergency order against President Donald Trump and the Department of Defense, seeking to block what he warned is the “unlawful militarization of Los Angeles.” “Defendants intend to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids throughout Los Angeles,” the filing ominously predicts. “They must be stopped, immediately.”
According to the motion, the Trump administration intends to use federalized California National Guard troops to provide support for counter-immigration operations ― and not for protecting federal buildings, as Trump has claimed.
“Specifically, these activities ― scheduled to begin today, June 10, 2025 ― will include ‘holding a secure perimeter in communities around areas where immigration enforcement activities would take place, and securing routes over public streets where immigration enforcement officers would travel.’”
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer declined to issue an immediate restraining order, but did agree to schedule a hearing on the motion Thursday.

The filing notes that on Saturday, before federal troops were deployed, an estimated 250 people were protesting ICE raids in the city the day before. Once Trump ordered in the military, that number swelled to more than 3,000.
"The President is looking for any pretense to place military forces on American streets to intimidate and quiet those who disagree with him. It's not just immoral -- It's illegal and dangerous," California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a statement. "Local law enforcement, not the military, enforce the law within our borders," he added.
