Overview

• Gov. Gavin Newsom’s office released an estimated tally based on California National Guard data, citing about $71 million for food and necessities and $37 million for pay, plus travel, logistics and demobilization costs.
• The June activation sent more than 4,200 Guard members and 700 Marines to secure federal facilities during protests, and about 300 Guard members remain in the city.
• U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled Tuesday that dispatching troops to accompany immigration operations violated the Posse Comitatus Act and barred their assistance in immigration arrests.
• California asked the court to block a Pentagon order extending the deployment of 300 Guard members through November, arguing most personnel lacked a clear mission and the call-up hurt readiness.
• Newsom’s office said federal cost records have not been provided in response to requests, prompting the state to publish its own estimate as similar deployments and threats of deployments continue in other cities, including Washington, D.C.
