“The district court has no authority to usurp the president’s authority as commander in chief,” Kelly said in an emailed statement to the Southern California News Group. “The president exercised his lawful authority to mobilize the National Guard to protect federal buildings and personnel in Gavin Newsom’s lawless Los Angeles.”

Governors aren't on the same page about the National Guard for "No Kings" protests. They are weighing public safety, and if Trump will step in.

Former candidate Ramaswamy likens Newsom to George Wallace, drawing parallels between their resistance to federal actions and political ambitions.

California officials argue that President Trump exceeded his authority by federalizing the National Guard without the consent of Gov. Gavin Newsom and by deploying Marines on American soil.

Over the years, Trump has threatened to intercede in the state’s long-running homeless crisis, vowed to withhold federal wildfire aid as political leverage in a dispute over water rights, called on police to shoot people robbing stores and warned residents “your children are in danger” because of illegal immigration.

The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.

Opponents of President Donald Trump’s administration are set to rally in nearly 2,000 cities and towns this weekend
