(NewsNation) — A lawsuit brought by California Gov. Gavin Newsom against President Donald Trump over the deployment of National Guard troops to subdue protests in the state will go to trial Monday.

The showdown will take place in a bench trial where a judge will examine evidence in the suit challenging the legality of the federal government’s actions in California over the summer.

Newsom and the State of California filed suit against Trump, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the Department of Defense over the National Guard being sent to the state to quell protests over immigration raids.

The outcome will be highly consequential as it will carve the extent to which the president can override state leaders with military action in times of unrest.
