A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration’s deployment of California’s National Guard to Los Angeles and called the move illegal.
The judge’s order to return control of the troops to California Governor Gavin Newsom will not go into effect immediately and the administration has filed an appeal.
The state sued President Donald Trump on Monday over his order to deploy the troops without Gov Newsom’s consent.
Trump said he was sending the troops - who are typically under the governor’s authority - to stop LA from “burning down” in protests against his immigration crackdown. Local authorities have argued they have the situation in hand and do not need troops.
Judge Charles Breyer said the question presented by California’s request was whether Trump followed the law set by Congress on the deployment of a state’s National Guard.
“He did not,” the judge wrote in his decision. “His actions were illegal… He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.”
Gov Newsom posted on social media after the order was filed that “the court just confirmed what we all know — the military belongs on the battlefield, not on our city streets”.

A judge retroactively prevented him from doing the thing that he already did, is still doing, and will continue to do, the system works!
The only respectable thing for protestors to do is applaud while being gunned down in the street while an arbitrary lengthy court process works out just how illegal this might be
This is civil justice all we libs laud above all else, after all!5 minutes later…oh its legal now. Anyway, I gotta go ride my lambo to my 3 story boat Mansion that was generously donated to me. Oh its an old thing, but its got character and 3 nude cleaning ladies that donate their talents to me as a nude cleaning lady inspector and painter.
As the saying goes, there’s only 3 things that can keep America accountable. The senate, the courts, and the Soviet Union.
“blocked”
Forgot to have a paralegal look into the case of You Can’t Do That v There’s Nothing You Can Do To Stop Me.
will not go into effect immediately
Hmmm.
That ain’t gonna do shit
Lol.
lmao even
“This will show him”
concerning
Looking into it
Lol the whole article is already changed.
The Dumpies I work with have been screaming at me that it was legal, it’s been done before! I just look at them and say, no it wasn’t.
does it matter it is illegal? it’s happening.
If it’s officially declared illegal it ideally would give the NG justification to refuse orders and walk off, which would be something. Maybe that’s wishful thinking, but putting any further doubts in the minds of those individual soldiers there would be a good thing at the very least.
I guess the Musk comment about the Epstien files needed a grand distraction.
Homie who are you talking to that didn’t already know Trump and Epstein were associates? Like who heard that for the first time from a Musk tweet?
He already said, he’s talking to the Dumpies!
from his own diapies
It beggars belief.
Id love to see ol’ Donny wriggle his way out of this jam!
Laws aren’t real. Might makes right.
