SAN FRANCISCO (AP) – A federal judge found the Trump administration violated federal law on Tuesday National Guard Use amidst the protests that followed in Southern California immigration enforcement activities.
Judge Charles Breyer found that President Donald Trump’s administration violated federal law by sending troops to the Los Angeles area. However, the San Francisco judge did not request that the remaining units withdraw. He set an order that will come into effect Friday.
Orders will come later California sued. The state said the troops sent to Los Angeles over the summer were violating laws that prohibit military enforcement under domestic law. Lawyers for the Republican administration argued that the Comittas Act of the Assembly did not apply because the military protected federal officials rather than enforce the law. They say the troops were mobilized under the authority to allow the president to deploy them.
This decision will be made as Trump argued. Deploying National Guard in Democrat-led cities Like Chicago, Baltimore, New York. He has already deployed security guards as part of an unprecedented acquisition of law enforcement in Washington, where he has direct legal control.
Members of the California State Guard federal government sent them to the second largest U.S. city over the objections of Democratic government Gavin Newsom and urban leaders. Trump did so under laws that allow security guards to be called into federal service when “there is a risk of rebellion or rebellion against government authority” or when the president “cannot enforce US laws,” when the country is “invaded,” and when the president is “invaded.”
Trump pushed the boundaries of typical military operations in the soils of the country. Militarized Zone Along the US-Mexico border.
Newsom, posted on X, said in all caps that reflect the president’s own social media style, “Donald Trump will lose again. The court agrees – the militarization of our city and the use of the military against US citizens is illegal.”
The White House did not immediately respond to a message seeking comment.
