President Donald Trump ordered another 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, bringing the total number of deployed military forces to around 4,700 after 700 Marines were deployed earlier Monday.

In announcing the lawsuit, Attorney General Rob Bonta called the president's move to federalize the National Guard an "infringement" on state sovereignty.

Newsom plans to file suit against the Trump administration to roll back the National Guard deployment, which he called “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”
