A federal judge ruled President Trump's move to federalize the National Guard in Los Angeles illegal, criticizing the administration's circumvention of state authority. This decision was quickly countered by a Ninth Circuit temporary block, extending the confrontation between Trump and California. Judge Breyer argued that such militarization could escalate tensions during protests, undermining local governance while also limiting National Guard capabilities for essential state functions. The ruling received support from attorneys general across 18 states, highlighting broad concerns over federal overreach in domestic matters.
Judge Breyer's ruling declared Trump’s attempt to federalize the National Guard as illegal, emphasizing the dangers of militarizing local protests and undermining state authority.
Breyer criticized the federal action for violating the Tenth Amendment and noted that military presence would exacerbate tensions rather than quell them.
