A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in California based on “an ongoing risk” that the president will act unlawfully.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco wrote Sept. 2 that Congress was clear in the 1878 Posse Comitatus Act that lawmakers prohibited using the U.S. military for domestic law enforcement.
But he ruled there was no rebellion when Trump deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles in June, ostensibly to quell a rebellion and ensure that immigration law was enforced. Breyer cited plans by Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to expand the guard deployment to Oakland and San Francisco, and in other states across the country.
