A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order for President Trump to return control of the National Guard to California, stating the deployment was illegal and violated the Tenth Amendment. This order follows a lawsuit from California Governor Gavin Newsom, who argued that the Guard's involvement in immigration raids would worsen tensions. The ruling allows the state to regain control of nearly 4,000 troops previously sent to Los Angeles amidst protests over immigration policies. The federal government plans an appeal, citing concerns about public safety and dismissing the lawsuit as political opportunism.
The deployment of the Guard was deemed illegal, violating the Tenth Amendment and exceeding Trump's statutory authority, as ruled by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer.
California's lawsuit aimed to stop the National Guard from assisting immigration raids, arguing it could escalate tensions and disrupt public safety.
Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman confirmed that about 500 Guard troops were trained for immigration operations, raising concerns about their involvement in civil unrest.
The Trump administration dismissed California's lawsuit as a political stunt, claiming it jeopardized American lives despite the court ruling against the illegal deployment.
