Judge Blocks Trump's LA National Guard Order

Federal Judge Charles Breyer has temporarily blocked President Trump's federalization and deployment of the California National Guard to Los Angeles, ruling the move exceeded statutory authority and violated the Tenth Amendment. The judge found that Trump failed to follow required procedures, including notifying Governor Gavin Newsom, and ordered the Guard returned to state control by noon Friday. The ruling does not address the deployment of U.S. Marines. The Trump administration has appealed to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals. The controversy occurs amid ongoing ICE operations and immigration-related protests in Los Angeles, with local officials objecting to federal intervention. The case highlights tensions between federal and state authority over law enforcement and military use within U.S. borders.
