The Trump administration has been ordered to cease using the California National Guard to enforce immigration policies in Los Angeles. This decision was made by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, who issued a preliminary injunction after California officials raised concerns about the legality of the federal deployment, which was conducted without state approval.
Since the deployment began, the number of troops has significantly decreased from over 4,000 to only a few hundred as of late October, with only around 100 remaining in Los Angeles by now. The state's argument highlighted a reversal in circumstances since the initial deployment during heightened protests over immigration enforcement.
The ruling underscores the ongoing battle over military use in domestic affairs, particularly in democratic states opposed to the Trump administration's policies. While the judge's decision will be on hold until next Monday, this reflects a critical juncture in the balance of power between federal and state governance in America.
