A federal judge has ruled against President Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles, siding with California Governor Gavin Newsom, who argued that the activation was unlawful. The ruling requires control of the National Guard to be returned to the governor. This decision highlights a significant constitutional debate regarding federal power vs. state authority, especially in matters of law enforcement and immigration. The ruling could be appealed, marking a notable setback for the White House amid ongoing tensions over illegal immigration policies.
"That's the difference between a constitutional government and King George. It's not that the leader can simply say something and then it becomes it," the judge said.
Trump's order deploying the guard was based on attempts to impede immigration agents in Los Angeles, defining it as "a form of rebellion against the authority of the government of the United States."
