Attorney General Nick Brown filed an amicus brief with leaders from 21 states supporting California’s request for a court order blocking the president’s unlawful federalization and deployment of that state’s National Guard. “The president is escalating events in Los Angeles not to prevent violence, but to stoke fear and division. It’s a deliberate enticement to chaos. It’s unlawful, it’s undemocratic, and Washington state would act swiftly to protect our residents if the president did the same here.” – AG Brown
