WASHINGTON \u2014\u00a0\u00a0A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration violated federal law in\u00a0the use of National Guard troops\u00a0amid Southern California immigration enforcement operations and accompanying protests.<\/p>\n
Judge Charles Breyer found President Donald Trump\u2019s administration violated federal law by sending troops to the Los Angeles area. The judge in San Francisco did not require the remaining troops withdrawn, however. He set his order to go into effect on Friday.<\/p>\n
The order comes after\u00a0California sued. The state said the troops sent to Los Angeles over the summer were violating a law that prohibits military enforcement of domestic laws. Lawyers for the Republican administration have argued the Posse Comitatus Act doesn\u2019t apply because the troops were protecting federal officers not enforcing laws. They say the troops were mobilized under an authority that allows the president to deploy them.<\/p>\n
The decision comes as Trump has discussed\u00a0National Guard deployments in Democratic-led cities\u00a0like Chicago, Baltimore and New York. He has already deployed the Guard as part of his unprecedented law enforcement takeover in Washington, where he has direct legal control.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"WASHINGTON \u2014\u00a0\u00a0A federal judge ruled Tuesday that the Trump administration violated federal law in\u00a0the use of National Guard…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":27979,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5123],"tags":[24166,24167,13565,1578,1582,276,2961,224,5337,80],"class_list":{"0":"post-194258","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-los-angeles","8":"tag-all-markets-rank-everywhere","9":"tag-app-for-your-consideration","10":"tag-app-local-state-politics","11":"tag-associated-press","12":"tag-ca","13":"tag-california","14":"tag-la","15":"tag-los-angeles","16":"tag-losangeles","17":"tag-politics"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115135053331763729","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194258","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=194258"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/194258\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/27979"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=194258"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=194258"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=194258"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
