California Gov. Gavin Newsom on Wednesday threatened to sue the Trump administration if National Guard troops are sent to San Francisco.

"Send troops to San Francisco and we will sue you, @realDonaldTrump," Newsom wrote on X.

"We’re going to be fierce, we’re going to be focused in terms of our response. Quite literally, this is the lawsuit that I will file within a nanosecond of any effort to send the military to one of America’s great cities, San Francisco," he said at a news conference while raising a document.

The governor said California officials "will push back with clarity and conviction," adding that they will "continue to win in court."
