California Governor Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta have filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration for deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without state consent. The move followed protests triggered by ICE raids across the city. Bonta labeled the deployment an "inflammatory escalation" and a violation of the 10th Amendment, which limits federal power over state governance. Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass argue local law enforcement was capable of managing the situation. Former President Trump defended the deployment, citing the need for order amid civil unrest. The legal battle highlights renewed federal-state tensions. (PC: BBC)
