We feel confident in our case and that the law is on our side.
After I filed a lawsuit to stop President Trump and Defense Secretary Hegseth from unlawfully federalizing the California National Guard, a court issued a temporary restraining order blocking them from deploying the Guard to Los Angeles and directing them to return control to the Governor. A few hours later, the Ninth Circuit granted an administrative stay, allowing the National Guard to stay deployed over the weekend. While the decision is disappointing, it’s far from the end of the road.
Things have been moving quickly, so I wanted you to hear directly from me: We feel confident in our case and that the law is on our side. We will continue making our case in court, and we hope to prevail.
If you’re with me, pitch in $5 to fuel my campaign as I hold Trump accountable to the law.
Let’s be clear: The President’s orders are illegal and dangerous. He’s looking for any excuse to use the military to silence those who speak out against him. Trump’s order is cowardly and a violation of our fundamentally American right to peacefully protest.
As Chief Law Enforcement Officer in California, I will always enforce our Constitution and your First Amendment right to speak truth to power and gather, peacefully and lawfully, to demand change. That’s why we are going back to court to keep arguing our case.
As ICE agents raid our communities – taking parents, workers, and loved ones away from their lives – Californians in LA and across the state are standing up for their rights and freedoms, peacefully and lawfully. Our rights must be respected, and I will keep fighting in court to ensure they are.
As long as this president and his administration continue breaking the law, we’ll keep taking them to court. If you’re with me, make a contribution of any amount today.
