Newsom is trying to block Trump from sending in the National Guard to restore order in Los Angeles—claiming the move violates state sovereignty. Trump isn’t backing down.
Key Facts:
- California Governor Gavin Newsom filed for a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) on June 10, 2025, against President Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles.
- The case was assigned to Judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee and brother of retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
- Newsom’s filing claimed “immediate and irreparable harm” to state sovereignty if the deployment proceeds.
- The governor asked the court to issue the TRO by 1:00 PM the same day.
- The lawsuit seeks to prohibit federal troops and the National Guard from carrying out law enforcement activities within the state.
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 that the deployment threatens state sovereignty, disrupts public order, and could escalate tensions instead of easing them.
The filing stated, “A TRO is necessary by 1:00 p.m. on June 10, 2025, to prevent immediate and irreparable harm to Plaintiffs.”
It further alleged that Trump’s actions would “deprive the State of vital resources” and worsen the situation on the ground.
The case landed with Judge Charles Breyer, appointed by former President Bill Clinton and sibling to retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
Newsom’s attorneys submitted a raft of legal documents, urging the judge to act immediately to halt any military involvement in general law enforcement operations.

Commentary:
This legal maneuver by Governor Newsom is more political theater than sound legal strategy.
The President of the United States has full constitutional authority to federalize the National Guard, especially in times of national crisis or when local authorities obstruct federal law.
The idea that deploying troops to restore order constitutes a violation of “state sovereignty” is a weak argument, especially when those same local officials are refusing to cooperate with federal immigration enforcement or allowing lawless protests to spiral out of control.
If President Trump determines that invoking the Insurrection Act is necessary to end chaos or resistance to federal deportation orders, he should move forward boldly.
The law provides ample authority for such action, and the American people—particularly legal citizens—expect enforcement of the nation’s borders and laws.
Democrat governors like Newsom have repeatedly placed themselves in direct opposition to federal mandates.
Whether it’s sanctuary state policies, undermining ICE operations, or now attempting to block National Guard deployments, the pattern is clear: obstruction of lawful federal authority.
The judiciary must not reward this kind of resistance.
Any competent judge who understands constitutional law will see this lawsuit for what it is—a delay tactic and a political stunt.
President Trump has a responsibility to restore order and uphold the law.
If that means calling in the troops and overriding partisan governors who enable chaos, then so be it.
Those who continue to stand in the way of federal law should prepare to meet the full force of it.
Voters gave this president a mandate to protect the country—and he should use every tool available to do just that.
The Bottom Line:
Governor Newsom’s lawsuit to block Trump’s National Guard deployment is a clear case of political posturing.
The president has the authority to act when national security or civil order is at stake.
If left-wing officials continue to defy federal immigration enforcement, the Insurrection Act remains a lawful and necessary option.
