California: Governor Newsom vows to keep fighting as federal court rejects Trump’s military overreach
The Californer/10317413

~ In a recent ruling, the Ninth Circuit rejected President Trump's claim that he has the authority to federalize the National Guard for any reason and avoid judicial scrutiny. This decision comes as a critical check on presidential overreach and confirms that the President is not above the law.

Governor Gavin Newsom expressed disappointment that the Ninth Circuit is allowing President Trump to retain control of the California National Guard for now. However, he welcomed the court's rejection of Trump's sweeping claims that he could federalize the National Guard as he sees fit without having to answer to a court.

Governor Newsom, along with Attorney General Rob Bonta, remain committed to holding President Trump accountable for his use of the military as domestic law enforcement in violation of federal law. In a statement, Governor Newsom stated, "The court rightly rejected Trump's claim that he can do whatever he wants with the National Guard and not have to explain himself to a court. The President is not a king and is not above the law. We will press forward with our challenge to President Trump's authoritarian use of U.S. military soldiers against citizens."

Meanwhile, while President Trump has directed the national suicide prevention hotline to stop offering specialized support to LGBTQ callers, California continues to support this population by investing in their mental health.

In addition, Governor Newsom announced several appointments today including Dina El-Tawansy as the Director of the California Department of Transportation. El-Tawansy brings a wealth of experience as the District 4 Director at the California Department of Transportation and will play a crucial role in managing the state's transportation infrastructure.

As Governor Newsom continues to fight for the rights and well-being of Californians, these recent developments serve as a reminder that no one, not even the President, is above the law.
