The Department of Justice has rejected California's bid for a restraining order against the Trump administration's activation of National Guard troops amid LA anti-ICE riots, calling it a 'crass political stunt'.
The US Department of Justice has criticized California Governor Gavin Newsom's actions as a 'crass political stunt' after President Trump called up National Guard troops amid anti-ICE riots in Los Angeles. The DOJ argues that courts should deny the state's request for a restraining order against the Trump administration's decision to activate the National Guard. This move comes amidst tensions between protesters and law enforcement following the police shooting of a 25-year-old black man. The dispute centers on the federal government's authority over the deployment of National Guard troops in California.
