California AG Bonta Sues Trump for Deploying Troops, Warns President Is Trying to Provoke Violence
The Trump administration is sending 700 marines and an additional 2,000 members of the National Guard into Los Angeles following four days of protests against militarized immigration raids. Rob Bonta, attorney general of California, sued to block the use of National Guard troops on Monday. "Unfortunately, I think [Trump] wants conflict," said Bonta. "He wants something to erupt so that that provides the basis for him to try to grasp and seize additional power." Bonta's office is pursuing more than two dozen lawsuits against the Trump administration.
