Attorney General Platkin Joins Opposition to Trump's Unlawful Deployment of National Guard to Chicago
New Jersey Attorney General Matthew J. Platkin joined a coalition Saturday of 24 attorneys general and governors in filing a brief in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit in support of Illinois against President Trump's unlawful, unconstitutional, and undemocratic deployment of the National Guard without approval from the state's governor. The coalition's briefsays the President's actions break the law and threaten one of America's most important principles -- that the military must remain under civilian control -- while also threatening state sovereignty and core constitutional principles of federalism.
In recent months, the Trump Administration has repeatedly ordered the National Guard into communities throughout the country to usurp the role of local law enforcement -- first in California, then Washington, D.C., recently Oregon, and now Illinois. The coalition's brief makes clear that this violates the Constitution and federal law.
"Judges across the country have made clear what is laid out in the Constitution - Trump's domestic National Guard deployments are illegal," said Attorney General Platkin. "The President is using our armed forces as his personal army, sending them into places that he has deemed insufficiently loyal or not politically aligned with him, acting no differently than authoritarians around the world. The courts must stop this blatant abuse of power and stand up for our democracy."
Yesterday, although it allowed for the federalization of the Guard during the pendency of the stay request, the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit denied the Trump Administration's request for an immediate administrative stay of the portion of the district court's decision that barred the deployment of any federalized National Guard in Illinois.
Attorney General Plaktin is calling on the court to deny the Trump Administration's request for a broad stay pending appeal, which would allow troops to be deployed to Chicago. The brief urges the Court of Appeals to uphold the lower court's ruling that stopped this encroachment by the Trump Administration, and to protect the balance of power between the states and the federal government.
Joining Attorney General Platkin in filing the brief are the attorneys general of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, the District of Columbia, Hawaii, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Vermont, and Washington. The governors of Kansas, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania also joined the filing.

JOINT STATEMENT OF 22 ATTORNEYS GENERAL CONDEMNING RETALIATORY PROSECUTION OF NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL LETITIA JAMES
Attorney General Anne Lopez today joined a coalition of 22 attorneys general from the states of Arizona, California, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Rhode Island, Washington, Wisconsin, Vermont and theDistrict of Columbia to issue a joint statement condemning the Trump administration's retaliatory prosecution of New York Attorney General Letitia James:
"We resoundingly denounce the Trump administration's retaliatory prosecution of our colleague, New York Attorney General Letitia James.
Since a New York State judge found Donald Trump liable for years of business fraud and illegal dealings in a case led by Attorney General James, Mr. Trump has repeatedly broadcast his desire to arrest and prosecute her. Mr. Trump has now done just that -- demanding an indictment of Attorney General James even though the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Virginia Erik Siebert resigned rather than seeking an indictment.
None of us, whether our states' top legal officials or members of the public, should stand idly by while justice is upended and this president uses the criminal legal system to pursue his personal vendettas. The Trump-directed arms of the executive branch have arrested a sitting member of Congress, charged the former director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and criminally investigated a governor of the Federal Reserve, among other retaliatory and politically motivated pursuits. These kinds of prosecutorial abuses are the hallmarks of police states and authoritarian regimes -- not America's democracy.
We stand in solidarity with Attorney General James and others who have been targeted for reasons wholly antithetical to the pursuit of justice. We commit to doing all we can to ensure that the rule of law prevails and to resist the further corrosion of our system of justice."

ICYMI: Governor Newsom congratulates California Nobel laureates, underscoring the state's global dominance in science and innovation
What you need to know: California's world-leading research institutions and innovators continue to shape global scientific progress, with five California university-affiliated scholars among this year's Nobel laureates.
*
Five California scientists were honored among this year's Nobel laureates, commemorating their groundbreaking contributions in physics,chemistry, and physiology/medicine. Home to more Nobel laureates than any country in the world aside from the United States itself, these honors reflect the leading role California plays in advancing scientific progress across the globe.
"California's spirit of ingenuity drives world-changing progress -- from quantum computing to clean energy and medical breakthroughs. These Nobel laureates reflect the excellence of our universities, the strength of our innovation ecosystem, and the boundless creativity that defines the Golden State." - Governor Gavin Newsom
UC Berkeley's John Clarke and UC Santa Barbara's John M. Martinis and Michel H. Devoret received the Nobel Prize in Physics for pioneering research demonstrating quantum behavior in electrical circuits -- foundational work driving advances in quantum computing. UC Berkeley's Omar M. Yaghi was awarded a share of the Nobel Prize in Chemistry for developing metal-organic frameworks, breakthrough materials that enable carbon capture and have clean-energy applications. Fred Ramsdell, a UC San Diego and UCLA alumnus and researcher at Sonoma Biotherapeutics in San Francisco, received a share of the Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine for discoveries in immunology, which helps reveal how regulatory T cells help prevent autoimmune disease.
California is at the forefront of research and innovation and leads the nation in more patents per capita than any other state -- with more than 4 times the number of patents than Texas, the second highest. The new discoveries and advancements born from the state's best-in-class universities and research institutions have a major economic impact: California's life sciences sector contributed $396 billion in economic output statewide last year, bolstered by over 17,200 establishments supporting more than 1.15 million jobs.
Investing in the technologies of the future
As discoveries in life sciences and biotechnology increasingly rely on advanced technology, California is investing in emerging fields such as fusion and quantum to drive innovation across disciplines. Earlier this month, Governor Gavin Newsom signed legislation and announced new funding to propel the state's quantum and fusion sectors, both key tradeable sectors under the California Jobs First Economic Blueprint. These investments will support a robust talent pipeline, foster new research and development, and unlock new possibilities in medicine, clean energy, advanced manufacturing, and beyond.
The Golden State's quantum advantage
California leads the nation in quantum computing research with centers at UC Berkeley, UCLA, University of Southern California, and Stanford, along with the Google Quantum AI Campus affiliated with UC Santa Barbara and the Amazon Web Services Center for Quantum Computing at Caltech. As the nation's strongest hub for quantum innovation, California is the only state home to both National Science Foundation and Department of Energy quantum federal research centers.
California's economic strength
California is not only sustaining our national economy -- it is driving the future. California is the world's fourth-largest economy. California feeds the country and is the nation's top state for new business starts, access to venture capital funding, manufacturing and agriculture. With an increasing state population and record-high tourism spending, California's economy continues to build in key regions and sectors.

GOVERNOR GREEN STRENGTHENS HAWAII-JAPAN RELATIONS, SIGNS CLEAN ENERGY MEMORANDA
Governor Josh Green today concluded a weeklong visit to Japan, where he and First Lady Jaime Kanani Green led a Hawaii delegation through Tokyo, Osaka and Okinawa, to strengthen partnerships in clean energy, business development, education and culture.
In Tokyo, Governor Green met with senior leaders from NEC Corporation, JERA Co. Inc. and the Yomiuri Shimbun Group, to explore opportunities in technology,energy and tourism. He also visited Expo 2025 Osaka, where Hawaii was recognized during a United States Pavilion event, hosted by Ambassador William E. Grayson, celebrating America's 250th anniversary and the enduring friendship between Japan and the United States. Governor Green met with officials from Japan, France and the U.S. Pavillion, including U.S. Ambassador to Japan George Glass.
A Strategic Partnering Agreement signed by Governor Green on October 6 establishes a framework for collaboration among JERA Co., Inc., JERA Americas Inc. and the state of Hawaii. The agreement will support the state's decarbonization goals, advancing clean energy initiatives recommended in the Alternative Fuels, Repowering and Energy Transition study published by the Hawaii State Energy Office in January 2025.
JERA, the largest power producer in Japan and one of the largest power producers globally, has committed to eliminating carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions from domestic and international operations by 2050. JERA brings unparalleled expertise in energy infrastructure and strategic investment, in addition to its growing emphasis on low- and zero-carbon energy development. These efforts are part of Hawaii's strategy to diversify its energy portfolio.
In Okinawa, Governor Green and Okinawa Governor Denny Tamaki signed a Five-Year Memorandum of Cooperation on Clean Energy, renewing a partnership that began in 2010 between the Hawaii State Energy Office and the Okinawa Prefectural Government. The agreement advances shared goals for renewable energy, clean transportation and grid innovation across island communities.
"Hawaii and Okinawa share more than history, we share purpose," said Governor Green. "Together, we're proving that island communities can lead the world in clean energy and resilience, while honoring the cultural ties that bind us."
The visit also marked two major milestones: the 40th anniversary of the Hawaii-Okinawa sister-state relationship and the 125th anniversary of Okinawan immigration to Hawaii. These historic connections continue to shape the social, cultural and economic fabric of both island communities, deepening bonds built on shared values of aloha, family and perseverance.
Governor Green was joined by state legislators and business leaders, including Senate President Ronald Kouchi, Vice Speaker Linda Ichiyama, Senators Glenn Wakai, Chris Lee, and Michelle Kidani, Representatives Gregg Takayama, Dee Morikawa and Kyle Yamashita, as well as Department of Business, Economic Development and Tourism Director James Kunane Tokioka and Hawaii State Energy Office Director Mark Glick.
"Japan remains one of Hawaii's most important partners -- in energy, commerce, education and people-to-people exchange," said Governor Green. "This mission reaffirms our shared commitment to innovation, sustainability and friendship that extends far beyond the Pacific."
Governor Green will return to Honolulu on October 15 following a stop in San Francisco, where he will speak at the Salesforce Dreamforce Conference.

Governor Matt Meyer Ceremonially Signs Senate Bills Improving Child Safety
GEORGETOWN -- On Friday, October 10, Governor Matt Meyer ceremonially signed Senate Bills 142 and 143 into law, which increase safeguards against exploitation and support parental access to children's digital accounts.
"In Delaware, we're committed to doing everything we can to keep our children safe and families well-informed," Governor Matt Meyer said. "These bills help bring our state up-to-speed withsome of the risks that technology poses to our communities and kids, while equipping teachers, parents, and families with the knowledge and awareness they need to prevent abuse before it happens."
Senate Bill 142 increases penalties for sexual extortion in Delaware when the victim is a child or vulnerable adult, or when the offense causes serious injury or death, raising it from a Class E to a Class B felony. It also requires Delaware schools to include education about sexual extortion in their curriculum.
Also known as "Gavin's Law," Senate Bill 142 is modeled after a law passed in South Carolina, sponsored there by State Representative Brandon Guffey. In 2022, Rep. Guffey's son, Gavin, was a victim of sexual extortion and took his own life at just 17 years old.
Senate Bill 143 expedites court proceedings for parents or legal guardians seeking access to a deceased minor's digital assets and accounts. It also makes technical updates to ensure consistency with legislative drafting standards.
Both bills were sponsored by Senator Brian Pettyjohn and Representative Kim Williams.Governor Matt Meyer sits at a table with the Sussex Academy logo on the front. Advocates, legislators, and students stand behind the Governor holding legislation that he just signed.
"These bills represent another important step in Delaware's ongoing fight against sextortion and human trafficking," Senate Republican Whip Brian Pettyjohn said. "We've worked closely with survivors, advocates, and experts to strengthen our laws, improve training, and ensure victims have access to the support they deserve. I'm especially honored that South Carolina State Representative Brandon Guffey could join us today. His advocacy through Gavin's Law has inspired meaningful change across the country and reminds us all why this work matters."
"No family should endure unnecessary delays in accessing a loved one's digital accounts, and no child should face the horrors of sexual extortion without robust legal and educational protections," Rep. Kim Williams said. "As we become more reliant on technology in everyday life, these laws will provide Delawareans with the tools to combat these growing issues in the years ahead."

Record-breaking quarter: California reaches historic high in ZEV sales
What you need to know: California's demand for zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) is surging despite federal attempts to derail the Golden State's pursuit of a 100% clean energy future. A record 29.1% of all new cars purchased in the third quarter of 2025 were ZEVs.
*
Today, Governor Gavin Newsom announced that Californians purchased 124,755 zero-emission vehicles (ZEVs) in the third quarter of 2025,representing 29.1% of new car sales, the highest quarterly sales share ever reported in California. Despite the efforts by the Trump administration to derail the ZEV industry and raise the cost of a clean car , Californians made it clear they want to drive ZEVs as they scooped up the remaining federal tax credits that expired at the end of last month.
This historic accomplishment builds on the Governor's announcement earlier this week that California has added more than 30,000 megawatts of new clean energy and storage capacity since 2019, while virtually eliminating dirty coal from its power supply.
"This is unprecedented - we're nearing a third of all new vehicles sold in the fourth largest economy on the planet being clean cars. We're setting new records because this state believes in innovation, not isolation. While Trump sells out American innovation to China, California will keep charging ahead on our path to a future of cleaner air." - Governor Gavin Newsom
The Q3 2025 sales share of 29.1%, surpasses the previous high of 26.9% set in Q3 2023. Californians have now cumulatively purchased 2,468,158 new ZEVs. Last month, Governor Newsom announced that clean truck sales continued to rise in California in 2024, with manufacturers reporting nearly 1 in 4 trucks, buses, and vans sold were zero emission, meeting the state's target two years ahead of schedule.
"This is a defining moment for California's ZEV progress and sends a clear message to Washington: ZEVs are here to stay," said California Energy Commissioner Nancy Skinner. "The work and investments by the California Energy Commission, and its agency and industry partners, to expand the state's network of EV chargers has resulted in nearly every Californian living within 10 minutes of an EV fast charger. Now, new EV owners can enjoy a great driving experience bidding goodbye to smelly gas stations, messy oil changes, and costly engine tune-ups."
The ZEV market is also diversifying in California, with 146 ZEV models available in Q1, up from 105 models in Q1 of last year. Of the 124,755 ZEVs purchased in Q3, 108,685 of those were EVs. This is also a record for California, with EV sales spiking nearly 30% over Q2 2025.
"While the federal government stumbles backward with reckless rollbacks and short-sighted policies, California charges ahead lighting the path to a cleaner, more prosperous future," said California Air Resources Board Chair Lauren Sanchez. "From pioneering clean transportation in the 1970s to setting today's bold climate plan, we've proven time and again that protecting air quality and the climate isn't just the right thing to do, it's smart economic policy. As the world's 4th largest economy and a global beacon of clean energy innovation, we're busy building the future."
First-in-nation EV charger reliability standards
California's support for clean cars is unmatched. Despite federal headwinds, California has doubled down on improving the state's charging network and making it easier than ever to own a ZEV:
* Earlier this week, the California Energy Commission (CEC) adopted EV charger reliability and reporting standards, making California the first state in the nation to adopt such standards and laying the foundation for charging station reliability across the nation. The standards will not only improve the reliability of publicly funded fast chargers but also enable accurate reporting on EV chargers operating in California.
* In addition, the CEC recently approved two National Electric Vehicle Infrastructure (NEVI) Formula Program projects that will build 64 fast EV chargers along key highway corridors to reduce range anxiety for travelers.
* The CEC also approved three grants totaling more than $10 million, which will build out more than 1,000 Level 2 EV charging ports, the vast majority in low-income, disadvantaged, or affordable multifamily housing complexes throughout the state.
* Grants and rebates for thousands of dollars are available for low-income Californians to purchase ZEVs. Learn more at ClimateAction.ca.gov or ElectricForAll.org.
The gold standard for American EV infrastructure
California is tearing down barriers to ZEV deployment, speeding up EV charging station installations, and deploying infrastructure in hard-to-reach and low-income areas.
While qualifying for federal ZEV incentives contributed to the sales spike this quarter, becoming an EV driver in California is increasingly getting easier. There are now over 200,000 publicly accessible EV charging stations statewide. EV chargers can be found at grocery stores, park and ride lots, and even gas stations, whereas shared EV chargers can be found at apartment complexes, workplaces, doctors' offices, sports facilities, and other parking areas that may have some level of restricted access. This statewide network of public and shared private EV chargers is in addition to the estimated 800,000 EV chargers installed in single-family homes.
California's climate leadership
Pollution is down and the economy is up. Greenhouse gas emissions in California are down 20% since 2000 - even as the state's GDP increased 78% in that same time period all while becoming the world's fourth largest economy.
The state also continues to set clean energy records. California was powered by two-thirds clean energy in 2023, the latest year for which data is available - the largest economy in the world to achieve this level of clean energy. The state has run on 100% clean electricity for some part of the day almost every day this year.
Since the beginning of the Newsom Administration, battery storage is up to over 15,000 megawatts - a 1,900%+ increase, and over 30,000 megawatts of new resources have been added to the electric grid.
