Judge says Trump illegally deployed National Guard to help with LA protests, must return control
Briefly

A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order against President Trump, requiring the return of California's National Guard control. The ruling deemed the deployment illegal and unconstitutional, specifically violating the Tenth Amendment. Governor Gavin Newsom's legal action aimed to prevent Guard members from assisting in immigration raids, alleging that their involvement could escalate civil unrest. The judge, Charles Breyer, highlighted that Trump's method of deploying the troops was improper, as about 500 were already trained for immigration enforcement operations. The White House has not yet commented on this ruling.
