Newsom Sues Trump Over National Guard Border Deployment: Constitutional Showdown Looms

California Governor Newsom's lawsuit against Donald Trump highlights a significant constitutional conflict. The central issue is Trump's deployment of the National Guard to the US-Mexico border without the governor's consent. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has publicly supported the lawsuit, stating that the action violates Article 10, Section 12046 of the US Constitution. Pelosi argues that the President cannot deploy the National Guard without the permission of the state governor. This legal challenge raises important questions about the balance of power between the federal government and individual states. The outcome of the lawsuit will have significant implications for future deployments of the National Guard and the interpretation of the Constitution.
