California, baby, is stepping up its game against President Donnie D's controversial move to deploy 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines in the LA area. This is all thanks to protests popping up following some sexier-than-a-Hollywood-blockbuster federal immigration raids.
Governor Gavin Newsom ain't got no chill. He dragged Trump straight into court, freakin' begging for a quick judge then-and-there block to Trump's "unconstitutional" dishes. Now, Newsom's calling out the prez, labeling him a "wannabe despot".
"Sending soldiers onto the streets, man, that's something the world ain't never seen. It's an attack on our democracy," sings Newsom. Yikes, don't let this go down swinging!
Attorney General Rob Bonta lent his two-cents too, partnering with Newsom to file an immediate lawsuit claiming that California's streets ain't no battleground for no never-ending power-tripping administration. They argue that Trump's actions are a threat to law and order in peacetime, way beyond what a president is supposed to, ya know, wield.
California is accusing the federal bureaucrats of overstepping their authority, especially when it comes to policing regular citizens instead of just guarding feds building. Newsom and Bonta claim there's no rebellion in LA, just ordinary people protesting peacefully, managed perfectly well by local authorities without the raid of the military.
The legal showdown is expected to unfold in a federal hearing next week, on Thursday, June 12, 2025. California hopes to receive a court order blocking the National Guard and those pesky Marines from any action beyond safeguarding federal buildings. They're not diggin' Trump's stretchy mission goals that twist their military presence into civil law enforcement meatballs. That, pals, they contend, is an outright assault on democracy and an abuse of presidential power.
The street demonstrations continue, with concerned citizens gathering near federal detention centers to express their anger at the immigration raids. The tension among government folks is hotter than a LA summer.
Drop everything – this ain't over till the fat lady sings. California will keep knockin', California will keep innovating. They won't stop till the US government acts like a responsible adult or, hey, pays up with a big fat apology!
