A federal judge in California blocked the Trump administration from sending the National Guard to this state, ruling that the deployment of troops in Los Angeles violated the law.

On Tuesday, District Judge Charles Breyer issued a ruling that found the deployment of National Guard troops by President Trump along with Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth violated the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. The ruling comes in the wake of protests against Trump's anti-immigration agenda when the administration sent the National Guard to Los Angeles. Breyer emphasized that there was no rebellion in Los Angeles and that civil law enforcement had not been prevented from intervening.
