California sued the Trump administration after it deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles during protests over immigration raids. Here's what to know: |
|
|
- In its lawsuit, California argues that the deployment of troops in the state without the governor's consent had violated the state's sovereignty and the U.S. Constitution's 10th Amendment, which delegates power to U.S. states. Read the complaint here.
- President Trump cited Title 10 of the U.S. Code, a federal law that outlines the role of the U.S. Armed Forces, in his June 7 order to call members of the California National Guard into federal service.
- A provision of Title 10, Section 12406, allows the president to deploy National Guard units into federal service if the U.S. is invaded, there is a "rebellion or danger of rebellion" or the president is "unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States." Read more about Title 10 here. California's lawsuit argues that deployment of National Guard troops did not meet any of the requirements in Title 10.
- Five legal experts from both left- and right-leaning advocacy organizations have cast doubt on Trump's use of Title 10. The protests in California do not rise to the level of "rebellion" and do not prevent the federal government from executing the laws of the United States, experts said. Read more here.
- Legal experts were split on whether a court would back Governor Gavin Newsom's interpretation of the governor's role under Section 12406. Read more about that here.
- Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Monday mobilized 700 active duty Marines as part of the federal government's response to the protests. Trump has more direct authority over the Marines than the National Guard, under Title 10 and in his constitutional role as Commander in Chief of the armed forces. But unless Trump invokes the Insurrection Act, the Marines are subject to legal restrictions that prevent them from taking part in "any search, seizure, arrest or other similar activity."

- Columbia University student and pro-Palestinian activist Mahmoud Khalil has until 9:00 a.m. ET today to reply to the Trump administration's responses to his additional written arguments to a federal judge weighing his release from immigration detention.
- Brian Quintenz, a wealthy crypto-tied lawyer close to major Republican campaign donors, will testify at a Senate confirmation hearing on his nomination to be chair of the U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission. He was previously a CFTC commissioner from 2017 to 2021.

That's the number of prosecutors still working in the DOJ's Fraud Section unit tasked with enforcing an anti-bribery law. The number was 32 in a January report published on the department's website. The number has dwindled as the Trump administration reviews its enforcement of a decades-old law aimed at preventing corruption, according to three people familiar with the matter. Read more. |

"While it was clear to me and to the U.S. Supreme Court that Mr. Glossip did not receive a fair trial, I have never proclaimed his innocence."
|
—Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond in a statement announcing his office's decision to retry death row inmate Richard Glossip for his role in a 1997 murder-for-hire plot. In February the U.S. Supreme Court reversed a lower court's decision that had upheld Glossip's conviction and had allowed his planned execution to move forward despite his claim that prosecutors had acted improperly. Drummond said he will seek a life sentence for Glossip at the new trial. Read more. |
