Judge Halts Federal Troop Deployment in CaliforniaThe court ordered National Guard control returned to California's governor by Friday noon after disputes over troop use in protests.
- A federal judge ruled that President Trump's deployment of California National Guard troops was unlawful and must be reversed.
- The court found the president did not follow the required legal process and exceeded his authority under federal law.
- California officials criticized the deployment of over 2,000 troops as an unnecessary militarization amid protests in Los Angeles.
- The Trump administration promptly filed an appeal to contest the judge's temporary restraining order.
To put it bluntly, there is no invasion or rebellion in Los Angeles; there is civil unrest that is no different from episodes that regularly occur in communities throughout the country, and that is capable of being contained by state and local authorities working together.— Rob Bonta, Attorney General of California, in an emergency filing.
