California will sue the Trump administration over its decision to activate National Guard soldiers in Los Angeles County over the weekend, the state's Democratic leaders announced on Monday.
California Attorney General Rob Bonta claimed in a statement that President Donald Trump abused his authority by invoking a provision of Title 10 that allows the president to mobilize the National Guard if an invasion or rebellion is underway.
"President Trump’s order calling federalized National Guard troops into Los Angeles – over the objections of the governor and local law enforcement – is unnecessary and counterproductive," Bonta said.
