The purpose of this informational briefing is to provide an overview of National Guard and law enforcement obligations when called upon by the federal government in response to civil protests and/or situations of civil unrest.  The briefing is in response to increasing federal law enforcement actions occurring across the nation beginning in January 2025, the federalization of National Guard personnel by presidential memoranda on June 7, 2025 in the State of California, the ensuing federal lawsuit by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and California Governor Gavin Newsom challenging the executive orders, and Hawai‘i Attorney General Anne Lopez's response to the deployment of California National Guard personnel without the consent of California.  This briefing will provide information into the current status and legal background of the lawsuit involving California, presentations about federal and state authorities related to the deployment of the National Guard, other states’ responses to the potential federalization of National Guard personnel, policy concerns, considerations, and responses to future deployments of the National Guard for federal purposes, and the role of State law enforcement in ensuring public safety and exercise of free speech during civil protests.

 

The following individuals are invited to participate in this briefing: 

  1. Mr. David Day, Esq., Special Assistant to the Attorney General, Hawai‘i Department of the Attorney General
  2. Major General Stephen F. Logan, Adjutant General, Hawai‘i Department of Defense, or his designees
  3. Mr. Jared K. Redulla, Deputy Director of Law Enforcement, Hawai‘i Department of Law Enforcement
