The California Governor has sued the U.S. President over the mobilization of the National Guard, calling it “an unmistakable step toward authoritarianism.”

The lawsuit seeks to set aside the president’s order calling up troops in response to protests that spread over the weekend.

President Donald Trump ordered another 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, bringing the total number of deployed military forces to around 4,700 after 700 Marines were deployed earlier Monday.
