The right to peaceful protest is a fundamentally American value. Donald Trump is once against abusing his power to sow fear and chaos at the expense of the American people.
I applaud @agrobbonta.oag.ca.gov for taking action to protect Californians and stand by ready to assist in any way we can.

NEWS: @governor.ca.gov & I are suing to put a stop to President Trump’s unlawful, unprecedented order calling federalized National Guard forces into LA.
Trump is trying to manufacture chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends.
This is an abuse of power—and not one we take lightly.
