Re Federalization of the California National Guard

DearSecretary Hegseth

On June 7 2025 President Trump issued memorandum to your office
entitled Department of Defense Security for the Protection of Department of
Homeland Security Functions The memorandum purports to invoke 10 U.S.C.
12406 to call into Federal service members and units of the National Guard ...
to temporarily protect ICE and other United States Government personnelwho
are performing Federal functions including the enforcement of Federal law
and to protect Federal property The memorandum further directs actions as
necessary for the Secretary of Defense to coordinate with the Governors ofthe
States and the National Guard Bureau in identifying and ordering into Federal
service the appropriate members and units of the National Guard under this
authority

Section 12406 states that the President may call into Federal service
members and units of the National Guard of any State in such numbers ashe
considers necessary to repel an invasion of the United States by foreign
nation 2 suppress rebellion against the authority of the Government ofthe
United States or execute the laws of the United States when the President is
unable todoso with regular forces Section 12406 further states that rders for
these purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States
Last night the Adjutant General of California received memorandum
from your office with the subject line Calling Members of the California National

GOVERNOR GAVIN NEWSOM SACRAMENTO CALIFORNIA95814

Guard into Federal Service which states that [ wo thousand membersofthe
California National Guard will be called into Federal service effective
immediatelyfor period of 60 days Notably this directive did notissue
through the governor[ of the State[ as required by section 12406 the
Department of Defense did not transmit this directive to the Office ofthe
Governor norwas it approved or ordered by the Governor ofCalifornia This
directive is also inconsistent with the President's memorandum which
anticipates coordinat[ion with the Governors of the States in identifying and
ordering units ofthe National Guard into federal service

At present law enforcement authorities from the City and Countyof Los
Angeles are safeguarding public safety and as demonstrated by the robust
law enforcement response yesterday evening to protect federalfacilities local
law enforcement resources are sufficient to maintain order In dynamic and
fluid situations such as the one in Los Angeles State and local authorities are the
most appropriate ones to evaluate the need for resources to safeguard life and
property Indeed the decision to deploy the National Guard without
appropriate training or orders risks seriously escalating the situation

There is currently no need for the National Guard to bedeployed in Los
Angeles and to do so in this unlawful manner and for such lengthy period is
serious breach of state sovereignty that seems intentionally designed toinflame
the situation while simultaneously depriving the State from deploying these
personnel and resources where they are truly required Accordingly we ask that
you immediately rescind your order and return the National Guard to its rightful
control by the State of California to be deployed as appropriate when
necessary

Sincerely
