A federal judge blocked the Trump administration's deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles and ordered that they be returned to the authority of the California governor. United States District Judge Charles Breyer rejected the government's claim that the deployment was necessary to quell protests tied to immigration raids. About 4,000 guard members were sent in June without gubernatorial approval; roughly 100 remained. The government argued the troops were needed to protect federal officials and property and had extended the deployment through February.
