Becerra said Sunday that a lawsuit from the state was imminent.

"We are ready," said Becerra on ABC's "This Week" show. "We knew something like this could happen … we're ready to go."

Trump said Friday a national emergency to allocate nearly $ 8 billion for the construction of its long-standing border wall. The President made this announcement on behalf of the Rose Garden after agreeing to sign an expenditure bill not including his request for $ 5.7 billion dollars for the construction of a wall at the US-Mexico border.

Becerra said the state was confident of having the legal basis to challenge the action of Trump's executive.

"We are convinced that there are at least 8 billion ways to prove the harm," he said. "It has become clear that this is not an emergency, not just because no one believes it, but because Donald Trump himself said that it was not the case."

Newsom said in a statement last week that Trump "is planning a crisis and declaring a" national emergency "invented to seize power and overthrow the constitution."

"Our message to the White House is simple and clear: California will see you in court," he said.
