"The Trump administration must stop deploying the California National Guard in Los Angeles and return control of the troops to the state, a federal judge ruled Wednesday. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco granted a preliminary injunction sought by California officials who opposed President Donald Trump's extraordinary move to use state Guard troops without the governor's approval to further his immigration enforcement efforts. But he also put the decision on hold until Monday."
"The administration initially called up more than 4,000 California National Guard troops, but that number had dropped to several hundred by late October, with only a 100 or so troops remaining in the Los Angeles area. But the Republican administration extended the deployment until February while also trying to use California Guard members in Portland, Oregon as part of its effort to send the military into Democratic-run cities despite fierce resistance from mayors and governors."
A federal judge granted a preliminary injunction ordering the Trump administration to stop deploying the California National Guard in Los Angeles and return control of the troops to the state, but paused it until Monday. The administration initially called up more than 4,000 California National Guard troops, but that number fell to several hundred by late October, with about 100 remaining in the Los Angeles area. The administration extended the deployment until February and sought to use California Guard members in Portland, Oregon. Justice Department lawyers said Guard members were still needed to protect federal personnel and property.
