Federal Judge Halts President Trump's National Guard Deployment in Los Angeles
A federal judge has blocked President Trump's decision to deploy National Guard troops to Los Angeles, ordering that control be returned to California Governor Gavin Newsom. The Trump administration had argued that recent protests against immigration authorities constituted a rebellion, justifying federal intervention. However, US District Judge Charles Breyer rejected this claim, emphasizing the importance of checks and balances in government. The ruling challenges the administration's view of executive authority, particularly in the context of state National Guard control during emergencies.
