"Things escalated in June, when Trump sent troops to L.A.: Trump said he was responding to "out-of-control" immigration protests when he seized control of the California National Guard from Gov. Gavin Newsom and deployed Guard members - and eventually 700 U.S. Marines - to the nation's second largest city. State and local officials disputed that the protests were beyond their control and quickly sued, asking a court to remove the troops from the streets."
"After a three-day trial in August, a judge ruled in favor of California, ruling that Trump had violated federal law and ordering him to stop using troops for policing, but an appeals court paused that decision. The case is still pending and is expected to be heard by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals later this month. Both cases are moving through appeals courts."
In June, federal forces were deployed to Los Angeles after the president cited "out-of-control" immigration protests, including seizure of the California National Guard and deployment of 700 Marines. State and local officials contested the need for those forces and filed lawsuits seeking their removal. A district judge found the deployments violated federal law and ordered an end to troop policing after a three-day trial in August, but appeals courts have paused implementation and the disputes remain pending in the Ninth Circuit. The administration frames deployments as public safety actions, while opponents and some military experts raise legal and constitutional concerns.
