Judge Orders Trump to End 'Profoundly Un-American' National Guard Deployment in Los Angeles

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ordered the Trump Administration to end its National Guard deployment in Los Angeles and return control of troops to California, calling the mission 'profoundly un-American.' Breyer wrote that it 'defies the record - and common sense - to conclude that risks stemming from protests could not have been sufficiently managed without resorting to the National Guard.' Governor Newsom declared the ruling 'abundantly clear' that the federalization was illegal. The White House vowed to appeal, claiming Trump acted within his 'lawful authority.' The ruling marked a significant judicial rebuke of Trump's use of military force against American civilians.
