California officials on Monday said they would file a federal lawsuit over the mobilization of the National Guard during the weekend's massive immigration protests.

Attorney General Rob Bonta announced the legal action at a press conference, and called the president's move to federalize the National Guard an "infringement" on state sovereignty

The state’s governor, Democrat Gavin Newsom, has argued that the deployment is “an illegal act, an immoral act, an unconstitutional act.”
