In a recent court progress, California Governor Gavin newsom’s request for an emergency motion to halt President Donald Trump’s use of military forces, including the California National Guard, to restore order amidst ongoing riots in Los Angeles was denied by a federal judge. Instead, the court allowed Trump’s administration more time to respond and scheduled a hearing for a later date. Newsom’s original motion claimed that Trump’s actions amounted to turning the military against American citizens, which he argued threatened democracy. This legal battle reflects the ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and California officials over how to address the unrest. While newsom has supporters for his stance, he also faces criticism regarding his handling of safety in California. The situation is evolving, with both sides remaining resolute in thier positions.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom, unwilling to confront rioters in his own state, decided to confront President Donald Trump in federal court.

But on Tuesday, a judge turned down a Newsom “emergency motion” for the court to intervene in Trump’s use of the California National Guard and U.S. Marines to restore order in Los Angeles and surrounding areas wracked by violence since the weekend.

Instead, the court approved a Trump administration request for time to respond to Newsom’s motion and set a hearing on the matter for Thursday.

That doesn’t sound like the court considers it much of an “emergency.”

And it had to come as an unwelcome development to the potential Democratic contender for the 2028 presidential nomination.

Still, according to a report in The Hill, a Newsom representative tried to put the best spin on the setback:

“The court did not deny or rule on the Governor’s request for a temporary restraining order. The court set a hearing for Thursday, after the federal government and the state file additional briefs, and we anticipate the court will rule on the request for a TRO a short time later,” the representative told The Hill.

In a post on the social media platform X announcing his “emergency motion,” Newsom accused Trump of “turning the military against American citizens.”

I just filed an emergency motion in court to immediately block the ongoing and unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles.

And while he had plenty of supporters — he’s governor of far-left California, after all — there were also plenty of caustic comments, too.

I’m an American citizen. I’m in the LA area. I in no way whatsoever feel like the military is being turned against me.

I do feel like it’s being used to thwart criminals and illegal aliens, and I’m confused as to why you’re on the side of the criminals.

Quit wasting our taxpayer money and do something for the citizens in California. Help with shutting down the riots. Help with the deportations.

The court developments are the latest front in the ongoing war between Trump and California officials, including Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass, over responding to the riots.

And so far, neither side appears to be backing down.
