California Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Gov. Gavin Newsom have sued the Trump administration over its "illegal takeover" of the California National Guard to quash protests against immigration raids in Los Angeles last weekend.

The suit alleges that the federalization of the National Guard "deprives California of resources to protect itself and its citizens," including those needed to intercept drugs at the border, and violation of 10 U.S.C. § 12406, which requires the governor's consent. The suit was filed late Monday afternoon in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California. Bonta said that he and Newsom will also seek injunctive relief and a restraining order.
