California AG on Trump's "Unlawful" Deployment of the National Guard - Amanpour and Company PBS
Protests against recent ICE raids stemming from the Trump administration's immigration crackdown are spreading across the country — from Los Angeles to New York, Chicago and other key cities. Trump has made the decision to send the National Guard and U.S. Marines to help quell protests in Los Angeles. Legal and military experts warn that the tactic is a threat to American democracy.
California Governor Gavin Newsom calls it a brazen abuse of power. Governor Newsom and State Attorney General Rob Bonta are suing Trump to remove the troops from their streets. Bonta says mobilizing 700 Marines to support the National Guard in LA is an "unnecessary escalation." Bonta joins Christiane from Alameda, California. - Originally aired on June 11, 2025.
