Newsom v. Trump is a pending lawsuit by California seeking relief against the second Trump administration for the administration's federalization and deployment of the California National Guard as part of the June 2025 Los Angeles protests.
The lawsuit was brought in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California on June 9, 2025, at first requesting immediate relief, which was denied by district judge Charles Breyer the next day. On June 12, Breyer ruled against the Trump administration, which promptly appealed to the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, being granted a stay of that ruling. On June 17, an appellate panel of the Ninth Circuit held a hearing for the case. On June 19, the appellate panel of the Ninth Circuit extended the stay granted on June 12.
