CA AG Bonta: Trump ‘Has Been Engaged in an Unlawful Power Grab’

EXCERPT:

BONTA: "We sued yesterday because the president has been engaged in an unlawful power grab. He has tried to seize authority he does not have. He cannot lawfully deploy the National Guard to Los Angeles, period, full stop. The statute he cites to does not give him that authority. You need to have an invasion or a rebellion or the inability to execute the laws of the United States. None of that is present. He also needs to have consulted Governor Newsom and issued the order through Governor Newsom, who has objected to calling in the National Guard. So we believe, clearly and unambiguously under the law, we have a winning case. Today, we are bringing a temporary restraining order request to the court to assure that this case moves quickly, that we get an order as early as today or within the coming days, maybe later this week, because of the irreparable and irreversible harm that California faces because of this needless, unnecessary, counterproductive inflammation and provocation, escalation, and antagonizing conducted by the president."
