Judge sets hearing on Newsom’s effort to block deployment of troops to L.A.
- On Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer rejected California Governor Gavin Newsom's urgent plea to prevent President Trump from sending thousands of National Guard members and several hundred Marines to Los Angeles in response to ongoing protests and immigration enforcement activities.
- The deployment occurred amid growing conflicts between the Trump administration and California's Democratic leaders, who responded by filing a lawsuit on Monday accusing the federal government of breaching state sovereignty and federal law by federalizing the National Guard without the governor's approval.
- Judge Breyer scheduled a hearing for Thursday to examine the legal authority of the President to deploy military forces domestically without state approval and to consider arguments on the impact on state sovereignty and civil liberties.
- The Department of Justice opposed California’s motion as 'legally meritless,' asserting that blocking the deployment would jeopardize Homeland Security personnel safety and disrupt federal enforcement efforts, which include immigration-related operations costing an estimated $134 million.
- The ruling permits the continued presence of federal forces in Los Angeles during the legal process, underscoring a significant federal-state conflict over immigration enforcement and the use of military personnel in civilian contexts.
