The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) has argued that the deployment is “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”

Trump is sending 700 Marines, and another 2,000 National Guard members in addition to the 2,000 already deployed to help quell violent protests in California.
