California Governor Gavin Newsom said the state plans to sue President Donald Trump's administration over the deployment of California National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon.

Newsom accused Trump of using the United States military as a political tool against its own citizens.

Newsom said Trump sent 300 California National Guard members to Portland after a federal judge temporarily blocked his attempts to take over the command of the Oregon National Guard.

This is an extraordinary abuse of law and power. The Trump administration openly attacks the principles of the rule of law and realizes their dangerous rhetoric ignoring the court's orders and treating judges, including those appointed by the president himself, as political opponents," Newsom said as quoted by ANTARA from Anadolu, Monday, October 6.

He emphasized that his government would bring the case to court, while calling on the public not to remain silent in facing the president's actions which he considered authoritarian and reckless.

"We will fight this in court, but the public must not remain silent on the arbitrary behavior of the president and threaten the democratic order," he said.
