We all must stand up, speak out, and hold this lawless administration accountable.
Donald Trump is illegally seeking to use the military to police our people and our cities.
It’s unnecessary, undemocratic, and most importantly, unlawful. Sign my petition against Trump’s unlawful National Guard deployments.
When troops arrived in California in early June, we knew it was unlikely to be the last of Trump’s military occupation of American cities. We were right: now, there are thousands of National Guard servicemembers patrolling the streets of Washington, D.C. for civilian law enforcement.
As a federal judge just affirmed in our lawsuit against Trump for the unlawful deployment of federalized National Guard troops for civilian law enforcement in California — the military cannot act as the President’s personal police force.
Now Brian Schwab — the Attorney General of Washington, D.C. — is suing Trump, too, and I’m proud to stand with him and D.C. in this fight.
The military cannot be used for civilian law enforcement on American soil. Period, full stop.
Bottom line: this dangerous moment requires all of us to stand up, speak out, and hold the President accountable to the law, the Constitution, and the democratic values he swore to uphold.
Join me in speaking out and standing with the people of D.C. Add your name to my petition today to condemn Trump’s illegal deployment of the National Guard for civilian law enforcement and his military occupation of our cities.
ADD YOUR NAME
I will never stop fighting against a President hell-bent on co-opting the U.S. military for his own personal stunts — and violating the law and trampling on our rights in the process.

Rob Bonta
Attorney General of California
