I have an urgent update for you on the situation in Los
Angeles.

On Monday, Governor Newsom and I announced a lawsuit against President
Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth for unlawfully deploying 2,000
California National Guard Troops without the Governor’s consent or
authorization.

After our announcement, the President doubled down, deploying 2,000 more
troops and deploying an additional 700 U.S. Marines — an extremely rare
move by a U.S. president.

On Tuesday, I filed a temporary restraining order in court to stop Trump
and Hegseth from using military and federalized National Guard to patrol
our communities.

[ [link removed] ]We need to remain steadfast in our fight for state sovereignty and
against this administration’s unlawful actions. If I have your support,
can you rush a contribution of $5 or more to power our
campaign?

More updates soon when I have them. Thanks for standing with me.

Last weekend, President Trump and Department of Defense Secretary Pete
Hegseth federalized 2,000 California National Guard troops without
authorization from Governor Newsom and against the wishes of local law
enforcement.

This move was unnecessary, unprecedented, and unlawful — so the Governor
and I are suing to stop it. [ [link removed] ]If you have our back, chip in now →

[ [link removed] ]Screenshot of a post on X from NBC News (@NBCNews) that reads:
'BREAKING: California's attorney general is suing President Trump, saying
the decision to deploy National Guard troops to L.A. was illegal.' The
image below shows uniformed California National Guard members in riot gear
standing in formation with shields that read 'CALIFORNIA NATIONAL GUARD.'
A caption on the image reads: 'California AG says he is suing Trump over
'unlawful' National Guard order.'

Let me be clear: There is no invasion or rebellion in Los Angeles or the
state of California. The President is trying to manufacture chaos and
crisis on the ground for his own political ends.

Calling in these troops to respond to protests is not only
counterproductive but also deeply unfair to the members of the National
Guard who are hard at work every day protecting our state, preparing for
and responding to natural disasters, and training so that, if called, they
can fight our nation’s wars.

We don’t take the President’s abuse of power and violation of California’s
sovereignty lightly. We’re asking a court to put a stop to this unlawful,
unprecedented order.

$5 or more to support our people-powered campaign as I
focus on holding the President accountable to the law.

To anyone outraged with this administration who feels moved to stand up
and speak out, I urge you to do so peacefully, safely, and lawfully. We
will get through this together.

Thank you,

Rob
