Title: Federal Court Orders Trump to Return Control of National Guard to California
In a significant ruling, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ordered President Donald Trump to relinquish control of 4,000 National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles during recent immigration raids protests. Labeling the president’s actions as illegal, Breyer emphasized the violation of both statutory authority and the Tenth Amendment of the Constitution. His 36-page decision followed a concise afternoon hearing where he expressed skepticism about the legality of Trump’s order, particularly as it bypassed California Governor Gavin Newsom.
Newsom had opposed the deployment, and Breyer noted the necessity of governor approval in invoking state National Guard units. The president’s legal representatives argued otherwise, claiming no consultation with the governor was required, leading Breyer to compare such overreach to "King George."
As unrest continues in Los Angeles surrounding Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, Democratic attorneys general across the nation backed California in filing an amicus brief against the federal deployment, warning of dangerous precedents and undermined state authority. The ruling may face an emergency appeal from the Trump administration as the situation unfolds, with protests and tensions escalating in the city.
