On Tuesday, California Governor Gavin Newsom requested an ex parte Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against President Trump over the deployment of National Guard troops to downtown Los Angeles.
Newsom’s lawsuit over the National Guard deployment was assigned to Judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee and brother of retired Supreme Court Justice Stephen Breyer.
“They must be stopped immediately,” the lawsuit against Trump said.
Newsom told the court he needs the TRO by 1 p.m. today.
“Plaintiffs respectfully move the Court to enter a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction prohibiting DOD Defendants from taking any of the actions described in Plaintiffs’ contemporaneously-filed Proposed Order and Order to Show Cause,” according to the court filing.
“This motion is based on this Ex Parte Motion, the Complaint for Declaratory and Injunctive Relief (Doc. 1), the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities, the accompanying proposed Temporary Restraining Order, the accompanying supporting declarations, as well as the papers, evidence, and records on file in this action, and any other written or oral evidence or argument presented at or before the time this motion is heard by the Court,” Newsom said.
“As set forth in the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities, a TRO is necessary by 1:00 p.m. on June 10, 2025, to prevent immediate and irreparable harm to Plaintiffs.”
“Absent immediate injunctive relief, Defendants’ use of the military and the federalized National Guard to patrol communities or otherwise engage in general law enforcement activities creates imminent harm to State Sovereignty, deprives the State of vital resources, escalates tensions and promotes (rather than quells) civil unrest. Accordingly, the Plaintiffs seek a TRO and preliminary injunction to preserve the status quo,” Newsom said in the court filing.
