Oklahoma Attorney General Gentner Drummond is leading a federal court filing to stop California Governor Gavin Newsom from getting a preliminary injunction against President Donald Trump’s use of National Guard troops in response to protests against immigration policy which have broken out in violence. The amicus brief was filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California.
“President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard is not only responsible and constitutional, it is fully necessary to enforce the law and ensure public safety,” Drummond said. “I am thankful the president stepped in to protect innocent citizens from the lawlessness and violence the nation is seeing in the streets of Los Angeles.”
Drummond, along with the attorneys general of Iowa and South Carolina are leading the brief with 17 other states and territory joining.
