SAN FRANCISCO—On Wednesday, June 11, Senior District Judge, Charles R. Breyer, denied
Governor Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta’s immediate request for a restraining order against President of the United States, Donald Trump in their effort to keep him from using U.S. military for security while Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents are executing search warrants. The following message was posted on Judge Breyer’s
government webpage.

The Trump Administration deployed both the U.S. Army National Guard and the U.S. Marine
Corps, following reports of LAPD, LASD, and SMPD officer’s orders to stand down and follow
California’s Sanctuary City laws.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, Attorney General Rob Bonta, Mayor Karen Bass, Santa
Monica Police Department (SMPD) Chief Ramon Batista, and LAPD Chief Jim McDonnell all
issued statements reminding their employees that they were not to get involved with immigration and the federal government.
Governor Newsom said, “The U.S. Constitution and the Title 10 authority the President invoked require that the Governor consent to the federalization of the National Guard…”
Newsom indicated he did not grant the approval for President Trump to deploy the Guard into his territory.
On June 11, the Central District of California Department of Justice (DOJ) reported complaints issued on two Los Angeles County men, one in the country illegally who were throwing Molotov cocktails at federal agents during protests in downtown Los Angeles and in Paramount. The following came directly from the DOJ press release:
“The following defendants have been charged with possession of an unregistered destructive device, which carries a statutory maximum sentence of 10 years in federal prison:
Emiliano Garduno Galvez, 23, of Paramount, who is an illegal immigrant from Mexico; and Wrackkie Quiogue, 27, of Long Beach. Both defendants are in custody.
Quiogue was ordered detained at his initial court appearance on Tuesday. Galvez is expected to make his initial appearance in United States District Court in the coming days.
“When protesting crosses the line into violence, the penalties will be severe,” said United States Attorney Bill Essayli. “Possessing a Molotov cocktail or another destructive device is punishable by up to 10 years in federal prison.
The vile attacks such as the ones alleged in these complaints could have resulted in life-altering or life-ending injuries to police officers, sheriff’s deputies, and innocent bystanders. We will not relent in dispensing swift justice to criminals who take advantage of our country’s freedoms to engage in lawlessness.”
