California Gov. Gavin Newsom has demanded a restraining order against President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, claiming they are preparing to use U.S. Marines on ICE raids in Los Angeles.
The governor asked the U.S. District Court in the Northern District of California to move swiftly. “They must be stopped immediately,” he said in the court filing.
Newsom said Trump and Hegseth, “intend to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids throughout Los Angeles. They will work in active concert with law enforcement, in support of a law enforcement mission, and will physically interact with or detain civilians.
“These unlawful deployments have already proven to be a deeply inflammatory and unnecessary provocation, anathema to our laws limiting the use federal forces for law enforcement, rather than a means of restoring calm,” he added.
“Federal antagonization, through the presence of soldiers in the streets, has already caused real and irreparable damage to the City of Los Angeles, the people who live there, and the State of California. They must be stopped, immediately.”
