Federal judge appears skeptical of Trump’s ongoing command of California National Guard troops
Judge Breyer questioned the Trump administration's justification for federal control of California National Guard troops amid protests, with troop numbers dropping from 4,000 to about 100, court records show.
- U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer sharply questioned the Trump administration's authority to keep federal command of California National Guard troops and did not immediately rule after the San Francisco hearing.
- Trump initially called up more than 4,000 California National Guard troops after violent protests in June, marking the first activation in decades without a governor's request.
- Troops were stationed outside a federal detention center and later moved onto city streets to protect immigration officers during arrests, while remaining forces allowed immigration agents to continue their mission and protected federal property after two incendiary devices were thrown into a federal building on Monday.
- California officials asked Breyer to issue a preliminary injunction returning control of remaining troops as an appeals court panel put Breyer’s temporary restraining order on hold.
- Breyer pressed the government for evidence that state authorities were unable or unwilling to help, as Hamilton said federal law allows control of Guard troops, while California argued otherwise.
