Judge blocks Trump administration’s deployment of national guard troops in Los Angeles
- A U.S. district judge blocked the federal deployment of California National Guard troops in Los Angeles and ordered a return to state control.
- California had sued to challenge the federal government’s authority over the troops deployed in June.
- About 4,000 guards were federalized earlier this year, with numbers dwindling to a few hundred by late October.
- The judge’s ruling halted the deployment and paused the injunction until Monday for further action.
- Governor Gavin Newsom criticized the federal move as unprecedented and illegal in his response to the lawsuit.
- The deployment had been part of federal actions related to protests and immigration enforcement in Los Angeles.
- The court case questioned the government's authority to command state troops against a state's wishes.
- The judge emphasized that circumstances may have changed since the initial deployment.
- Reported by Reuters and the Associated Press as part of coverage on the ruling.
- The ruling directs that nearly all remaining troops be returned to state control pending further proceedings.
