Judge orders Trump to end California National Guard troop deployment in Los Angeles

Judge Breyer found the federal retention of 300 California National Guard troops unlawful, citing lack of emergency and risk of creating a national police force, while allowing appeal until Dec. 15.

  • Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer blocked President Donald Trump's deployment of California National Guard members and granted a preliminary injunction returning them to Gov. Gavin Newsom's control.
  • Earlier this year, President Donald Trump invoked Title 10 in June to federalize California Guard members amid immigration raid protests, while Gov. Gavin Newsom sued and Breyer issued a restraining order on June 12.
  • At the peak, the deployment reached around 5,000 troops—roughly 4,000 California National Guard troops and 700 Marines—with roughly 300 Guardsmen still federally controlled six months after federalization.
  • Breyer stayed his order until Dec. 15 to give the Justice Department time to appeal; the Ninth Circuit and Supreme Court are now weighing the case.
  • The judge rejected the government's argument on courts' review authority, warning that adopting Defendants' view of Section 12406 would allow a perpetual national police force; similar disputes arose in Oregon and Illinois.
