AG Rob Bonta here with an update for you on our National Guard lawsuit.
After Trump used an illegal scheme to federalize the California National Guard and deploy troops to the Los Angeles area back in June, Angelenos are still living under an unnecessary military presence — with no end in sight.
The Trump administration is essentially holding California’s National Guard hostage, repeatedly extending their federalization and deployment without any basis or justification.
This week I renewed my calls to the District Court to take swift action in our case:
→ End the extended and needless federalization of California National Guard troops.
→ Send our hardworking servicemembers back to their regular duty and regular lives.
→ Free Los Angeles from a completely unjustified military occupation.
The National Guard is not Trump’s Royal Guard to use as a personal, traveling police force whenever he wants, wherever he wants, for however long he wants.
As California’s Attorney General, I won’t back down from this fight — the President can’t be allowed to unlawfully infringe on Californians’ rights with impunity.
Please join us today and help power the work to hold Trump accountable and free our cities of military occupation.
