NEW YORK \u2013 <\/b>The City of New York \u2014 as part of a coalition of 13 localities from around the nation \u2014 has filed an amicus brief supporting California Governor Gavin Newsom\u2019s ongoing case against the federal government\u2019s unlawful deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles<\/a>. In the brief, the coalition urges the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit to affirm a district court ruling in Newsom v. Trump, which enjoined the federal government from deploying federal troops in Los Angeles. The coalition calls the federal deployment of armed soldiers on city streets an \u201cunprecedented assault on fundamental American values\u201d that has no basis in law and undermines public safety.<\/p>\n

The federal government has also sent troops to Washington, D.C. and has repeatedly made clear that New York, Chicago, Baltimore, Oakland, and other cities are next. The brief encourages the court to put an immediate end to this unchecked federal overreach and violation of the principles of federalism.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew York City is the safest big city in America and home to the best police force in the world, and our results speak for themselves: crime is plummeting across the five boroughs, with major violent crimes reaching record lows,\u201d said New York City Mayor Eric Adams<\/b>. \u201cCollaboration with state and federal law enforcement has always been a key part of our public safety strategy. We do not need a deployment of the National Guard to our city. Instead, we hope to continue to work with the federal government to stop the flow of illegal guns to our city from other cities and states. We remain committed to keeping New Yorkers safe through smart, precision-driven policing.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis brief highlights the risks of allowing the National Guard to become President Trump\u2019s personal police force,\u201d said New York City Corporation Counsel Muriel Goode-Trufant.<\/b>\u00a0\u201cAn unlawful military presence trampling on the sovereign rights of cities and undermining local law enforcement efforts should not be tolerated in any of our communities.\u201d<\/p>\n

In June 2025, the Trump administration federalized the National Guard in Los Angeles in response to protests of immigration enforcement operations. On June 12, 2025, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California ruled that the deployment violated federal law because the president had exceeded the narrow authority granted to him by Congress and violated the Tenth Amendment. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stayed the district court ruling while it considered the merits of the federal government\u2019s appeal.<\/p>\n

In the amicus brief \u2014 prepared by the City of Los Angeles \u2014 the coalition argues that the federal government\u2019s appeal provides no legal justification for deploying federal troops in Los Angeles. The coalition asserts that there was no invasion or rebellion directed toward the federal government that would have allowed the federal government to lawfully deploy the National Guard under Title 10 of the U.S. Code (10 U.S.C. \u00a7 12406), nor did false claims of \u201clawless mob violence\u201d permit the federal government\u2019s extreme response.<\/p>\n

Further, the brief highlights how the federal deployment of combat-trained soldiers to Los Angeles impeded the city\u2019s ability to carry out policing activities, sowed chaos, and escalated violence at protests. The brief contends that cities \u2014 not the federal government \u2014 hold the lawful expertise and authority over domestic law enforcement and are better suited to ensuring public safety while protecting First Amendment rights.<\/p>\n

Joining the City of New York and the City of Los Angeles are the cities of Bell Gardens, Long Beach, Monterey Park, Santa Ana, Santa Monica, Santa Paula, and West Hollywood, California; Chicago, Illinois; Boston, Massachusetts; and Baltimore, Maryland; as well as the County of Los Angeles, California.<\/p>\n
