Legal Insurrection

*UPDATE* Trump’s team responds:

It seeks an extraordinary, unprecedented, and dangerous court order. If entered, Plaintiffs’ proposed order would jeopardize the safety of Department of Homeland Security personnel and interfere with the Federal Government’s ability to carry out operations. Plaintiffs’ request that this Court supervise the President and Secretary of Defense’s management of military forces is itself highly unusual and indeed non-justiciable under constitutional principles. The Court should reject Plaintiffs’ suggestion that this Court enter an order—on a one-sided record and without hearing from Defendants—on a subject of grave importance that implicates the separation of powers. As Plaintiffs noted in their motion, Defendants request the Court enter an order making Defendants’ opposition to Plaintiffs’ motion due tomorrow at 11 a.m. Pacific time. Defendants request 24 hours to finalize declarations necessary to expose certain of Plaintiffs’ allegations as false and demonstrate the irreparable harm to the Defendants if the Court were to enter the proposed order.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom demanded that a judge issue a restraining order from the time of filing (Pacific time) to block President Donald Trump and his administration from deploying the National Guard and Marines.
