The legal battle over Trump's use of the National Guard moves to a California courtroom

Lawyers for President Donald Trump and California Gov. Gavin Newsom are set to face off Monday to determine whether the president violated a 147-year-old law when he deployed the National Guard to quell protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles – against the wishes of the Democratic governor.
In June, as hundreds of people gathered in Los Angeles to protest a string of immigration raids that targeted workplaces and left dozens of people detained or deported, the president federalized and deployed 4,000 National Guard members over the objection of Newsom and local officials, who said the deployment would only cause further chaos. Trump invoked a rarely used law that allows the president to federalize the National Guard during times of actual or threatened rebellion or invasion, or when regular forces can’t enforce US laws.
The president’s lawyers said in a court filing that the duties of the National Guard troops and a handful of Marines also dispatched were narrowly circumscribed: They were dispatched only to protect federal property and personnel, and they didn’t engage in any law enforcement activities.
Newsom filed a lawsuit June 9 against Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, saying they violated the Posse Comitatus Act and the 10th Amendment. Trump’s lawyers say the act, which prevents the use of the military for enforcing laws, doesn’t provide a mechanism for a civil lawsuit.

(although 45 and his sycophants pretty much refused to give the go-ahead for the Guard to come in to assist during the Jan. 6 insurrection as his mobs were trashing the U.S. Capitol - very seat of government - until the mobs had already done their damage).
Once such instance was here in Philly (something my mom used to talk about as she was 14 at the time) -
In Philly 80 years ago, a racist subway strike paralyzed the city in the middle of World War II (August 01, 2024)
The same racist types that you see today went on a wildcat strike in 1944 at our precursor transit system - PTC (now SEPTA) - because 8 blacks were promoted to be trolley drivers. FDR sent in troops to monitor and then take over the system (at least for the 6 days that the strike lasted).
And I think most are aware of the George Wallace mess in Alabama in the early '60s.
This is probably the type of thing 45's loons would argue in court although the difference would be consent/request from the local government officials in most (but obviously not "all" as in the AL, MS or LA) cases.
