Federal Judge Questions if Trump’s Deployment of the National Guard in the Los Angeles Area Is Lawful
The trial examines the legality of Donald Trump's National Guard deployment amid disputes over authority and public safety, with proceedings ongoing through the second day.
- The three-day trial ended Wednesday with a federal district court in California reviewing the legality of the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles.
- The deployment occurred amid protests against immigration enforcement operations and includes claims that the National Guard's involvement breached federal restrictions on military participation in domestic law enforcement activities.
- A representative from the Department of Justice maintained the Guard’s role was limited to protection and thus exempt from the Posse Comitatus Act, while California officials and General Scott Sherman expressed concerns that the troops, at times outnumbering federal agents, were engaged in law enforcement activities beyond their authorized scope.
- Hamilton stated that troops fulfilled more than 60 requests for federal assistance, while Judge Breyer questioned the extent of federal enforcement authority and acknowledged that he was mindful of the risks faced by federal employees.
- The judge has yet to rule, and the case highlights tensions over military involvement in civilian law enforcement, with a federal appeals court previously allowing continued troop control during litigation.
