Guard call up is invalid- they can be held personally responsible.

Or do you seriously think Newsom is ignorant of the law?

While he has protested the deployment of the NG, Newsom has said nothing about the section of the law you quoted- Trump federalized the CA NG, so the law you quoted does not appear to apply in this case.

Other laws may have been broken, most likely federal laws, but that remains to be seen.

Update-
So, since the OP was posted, Newsom has filed suit, alleging the law quoted in the OP was violated. Trump/Miller in the meantime have claimed the guard was deployed under a different law/authority.

At this point, although much has been alleged and asserted, nothing has been adjudicated in a court of law .

The following assertion was also made in the OP:

Basically that means they aren’t properly activated, and , if anything happens, they may be held personally responsible- as their normal governmental immunity is now in question.

That has not yet been adjudicated either, and so must be considered an opinion , and not a fact.

If Newsom’s suit prevails under the law quoted, and the guard stands down, that would be fantastic, but as we have come to expect, things are rarely that simple in the Trump era.

In the meantime, let’s do each other (and the truth) a favor, and make clear distinctions between facts and opinions.
