90. Defendants have also not shown that any of the protests have rendered the President "unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States." 10 U.S.C. § 12406(3). Indeed, Governor Newsom and Mayor Karen Bass both reported on June 7, 2025, that they had sufficient resources to respond to any potential unrest or threats to safety or property. A June 8 letter from the Office of Governor Newsom to Secretary Hegseth notes that as "demonstrated by the robust law enforcement response yesterday evening to protect federal facilities, local law enforcement resources are sufficient to maintain order." And on both June 6 and 7, ICE officials were able to act on warrants and make arrests. 91. Violation of the Posse Comitatus Act is imminent, if not already underway. 92. Accordingly, Plaintiffs are entitled to a declaration that any action taken pursuant to the June 7, 2025 Presidential Memorandum is invalid, and an injunction prohibiting DOD Defendants from implementing the Memorandum.
