Newsom's Legal Battle Against Federal Troops: Three Key Arguments

California Governor Newsom's legal challenge against the federal government's deployment of troops in California is gaining traction. The 22-page complaint, filed recently, centers on three main arguments. First, Newsom alleges that the federal government exceeded its authority, a claim known as ultra vires. "They stepped beyond their authority," explains legal expert Bryan, a former prosecutor. Second, the complaint invokes the Tenth Amendment, asserting that the federal government infringed upon California's states' rights. Third, Newsom argues that the deployment violated the Administrative Procedures Act (APA), which outlines rules for governmental actions. The complaint highlights the ongoing tension between federal and state power, and its outcome could set a significant precedent. Legal experts are closely monitoring the case, and its resolution will likely have implications across the nation.
