A federal judge has declared President Donald Trump’s use of military troops in Los Angeles illegal, barring the Pentagon from using National Guard members and Marines from performing police functions, like arrests and crowd control.
In a 52-page ruling, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer warned that Trump appears intent on “creating a national police force with the President as its chief.”
Judge Breyer has put the ruling on hold until 12 September and Trump will likely appeal.
After Trump deployed troops to Los Angeles, Governor Gavin Newsom sued the administration for alleged violations of the Posse Comitatus Act.
Judge Breyer's order only applies in California, but could signal legal challenges ahead for Trump's plans to use the Guard to enforce his policies.
