"The state’s latest lawsuit charges the administration with illegally targeting its authority to set tougher vehicle-emission standards. Ten attorneys general from states that follow those rules joined the suit." 

"President Donald Trump signed congressional resolutions Thursday morning to repeal California’s pioneering vehicle emissions standards, which he called a “disaster for this country.” 

California was ready. 

“We made a promise that if the president attempted to illegally interfere with our clean air standards, we’d hold him accountable in court,” California Attorney General Rob Bonta said in a press briefing the same day. “Today, we are making good on that promise.”

Bonta filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California along with attorneys general from 10 states that follow California’s pioneering emissions standards. The complaint asks the court to declare that the resolutions “have no effect on the status or enforceability of state emissions control programs.”"
