AG Brown led a coalition of 23 attorneys general and 3 governors in filing an amicus brief in the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, urging the court to deny the Trump administration’s appeal and uphold a lower court’s ruling blocking the unlawful deployment of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C.   
 
“President Trump unlawfully deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C. for political theater, not for public safety. Our Office will continue defending the rule of law against unlawful efforts to use military power to police American communities." -AG Brown
