The US Justice Department said it filed a suit after California Governor Jerry Brown signed legislation to restore open internet protections known as net neutrality in the state after the Trump administration repealed the rules in December 2017.
This marked the latest clash between the Trump administration and California, which have sparred over environmental, immigration and other hot-button issues.
In a statement on Sunday, Attorney General Jeff Sessions said that 'states do not regulate interstate commerce - the federal government does.
'Once again the California legislature has enacted an extreme and illegal state law attempting to frustrate federal policy.'

In December, the Federal Communications Commission said in repealing the Obama-era rules that it was preempting states from setting their own rules governing internet access.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra said on Sunday the Trump Administration was ignoring 'millions of Americans who voiced strong support for net neutrality rules' while California, which is 'home to countless start-ups, tech giants and nearly 40 million consumers - will not allow a handful of power brokers to dictate sources for information or the speed at which websites load.'
The Trump administration rules were a win for providers like Comcast Corp, AT&T Inc and Verizon Communications Inc, but the net neutrality repeal was opposed by internet companies like Facebook Inc, Amazon.com Inc and Alphabet Inc.
In March, Brown accused the Trump administration of essentially declaring war on the most populous US state after the Justice Department sued to stop policies that protect illegal immigrants against deportation.

Under President Donald Trump, the FCC voted 3-2 in December along party lines to reverse rules that barred internet service providers from blocking or throttling traffic or offering paid fast lanes, also known as paid prioritization.
FCC Chairman Ajit Pai, who led the effort to reverse net neutrality, said in a statement on Sunday that 'not only is California´s internet regulation law illegal, it also hurts consumers.'
He added: 'The law prohibits many free-data plans, which allow consumers to stream video, music, and the like exempt from any data limits.'
Gigi Sohn, a former senior aide to FCC Chairman Tom Wheeler, who ran the agency when the net neutrality rules were adopted, said the California law 'is now the model for all future state and federal legislation ... this is what internet users across the political spectrum have said they want by overwhelming majorities.'
Jonathan Spalter, who heads USTelecom, an industry trade group, said California's law will not 'help advance the promise and potential of California´s innovation DNA.'
He argued that instead of 50 separate state laws, 'we need Congress to step up with a national framework for the whole internet ecosystem and resolve this issue once and for all.'
In August, 22 states and a coalition of trade groups representing major tech companies urged a federal appeals court to reinstate the rules.
The US Senate voted in May to reinstate the net neutrality rules, but the measure is unlikely to be approved by the House of Representatives and the White House also opposes it.
The FCC in December handed ISPs sweeping new powers to recast how Americans use the internet, as long as they disclose changes.
The new rules took effect in June but providers have made no changes in access.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
