California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed a temporary restraining order on Tuesday to block the Trump administration from deploying the military in Los Angeles.

The order asked a district court to block Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth from mobilizing Marines and National Guard members in response to ongoing protests of Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids in Southern California.

“Trump is turning the U.S. military against American citizens. The courts must immediately block these illegal actions,” Newsom said in a post to X.

Newsom filed the temporary restraining order on Monday, arguing that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marine Corps without the state’s consent is “unlawful” and “unprecedented.” The lawsuit argues that, unchallenged, these actions could set a precedent for the rest of the country with “devastating consequences.”

The immediate injunction was denied by the court, now waiting for the Trump admin to respond before 2PM ET today (11 Jun).

Would it have been too much for the author to include the court's reasoning?!

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

The court decided to give the blackshirts 24h to file a response with a hearing set for tomorrow. There was no explanation for why an emergency injunction was not immediately granted, though I suspect said judge is worried about political persecution from the illegitimate dictatorial regime.

The court didn't even include the court's reasoning.

He was aligning himself with Trump last week wesn't he?

[–] pelespirit@sh.itjust.works 8 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Nah, he was trying to get stuff for his state. You can't stop trying even though you're dealing with a toddler.

TIL there's at least one toddler that deserves to be hucked off a building into an empty dumpster many floors below. 🤌🏼

No. He definitely was aligning himself with Trump.

Well, I guess in that case the Governor of Cali should probably just let the military attack U.S. citizens in his state.
