Newsom tried to block President Trump from sending in the military to restore order in Los Angeles—but a federal judge just shot him down.
Key Facts:
- California Governor Gavin Newsom filed for an emergency Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) on June 10, 2025, to block President Trump from deploying federal troops and the National Guard to Los Angeles.
- U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee, denied Newsom’s request for an immediate restraining order.
- The judge did grant the Trump administration additional time to respond to the lawsuit.
- A court hearing on the matter is scheduled for Thursday.
- California accuses Trump of using federal forces and commandeering state National Guard troops to enforce immigration law against the governor’s objections.
The Rest of The Story:
Governor Gavin Newsom urgently petitioned a federal court to stop President Trump’s use of the National Guard in downtown Los Angeles.
His legal team claimed the deployment violated state sovereignty, escalated unrest, and unlawfully used military forces for general law enforcement.
The case was assigned to Judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee and brother of retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
Newsom’s legal filing demanded a ruling by 1:00 p.m. Tuesday, warning of “immediate and irreparable harm.”
He argued that Trump’s actions would “deprive the State of vital resources” and “promote rather than quell civil unrest.”
However, Judge Breyer denied the request for an emergency restraining order.
Instead, he granted the Trump administration’s motion for more time to prepare a response.
A hearing on the matter is now set for Thursday.
California’s lawsuit accuses Trump of trying to force state National Guard personnel to assist in immigration enforcement operations—without the governor’s consent.

Commentary:
This early defeat for Newsom’s legal stunt is exactly what should have happened.
No federal judge worth their gavel would agree to bar the President from deploying troops during a time of unrest.
The Constitution grants the President, not a governor, the authority to command the National Guard when federalized.
Democrat officials in California continue to obstruct federal law, especially when it comes to illegal immigration.
They’ve turned the state into a sanctuary for lawlessness—and now they’re outraged when the federal government steps in to restore order.
President Trump has not only the right, but the duty to deploy troops if needed to end rioting and uphold immigration law.
If invoking the Insurrection Act is what it takes to stop the defiance and lawlessness, he should act without hesitation.
Newsom’s claim that Trump is “commandeering” the state’s Guard troops is baseless. Once federalized, they report to the President. That’s how the law works.
The resistance to deporting illegal aliens is being led by state officials who swore to uphold the Constitution but are now standing in its way.
When state officials try to nullify federal law, they force a confrontation—and it’s a battle they won’t win.
President Trump was elected to protect America’s borders and restore law and order. That’s exactly what he’s doing.
The Bottom Line:
A federal judge denied Gavin Newsom’s request to immediately block Trump’s National Guard deployment in Los Angeles.
The court will hear arguments Thursday, but for now, Trump’s actions stand.
The President holds the legal power to restore order and enforce immigration laws, with or without state approval.
