The Trump administration must stop deploying the California National Guard in Los Angeles and return control of the troops to the state, a federal judge ruled Wednesday.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco granted a preliminary injunction sought by California officials who opposed President Donald Trump’s extraordinary move to use state Guard troops without the governor’s approval to further his immigration enforcement efforts. But he also put the decision on hold until Monday.
California argued that conditions in Los Angeles had changed since Trump first took command of the troops and deployed them in June. The administration initially called up more than 4,000 California National Guard troops but that number had dropped to several hundred by late October. Only a 100 or so troops remain in the Los Angeles area.
California argued that the president was using Guard members as his personal police force in violation of a law limiting the use of the military in domestic affairs.
The administration said courts could not second-guess the president’s decision that violence during the protests made it impossible for him to execute U.S. laws with regular forces and reflected a rebellion, or danger of rebellion.
In September, Breyer ruled after a trial that the deployment violated the law. Other judges have blocked the administration from deploying National Guard troops to Portland, Oregon, and Chicago.

Huh. I don’t recall WHERE in the Constitution a judge is given executive powers to deploy or not deploy military.
Shove it judge.
Some leftist judge has authority over the Commander-in-Chief of our military? I don’t think so.
Mr. Breyer, I seem to remember Eisenhower federalized the Arkansas National Guard in 1957 to enforce the integration of Little Rock Central High School
In 1963, President Kennedy federalized the Alabama National Guard via Executive Order 11111 to allow the enrollment of African American students at the University of Alabama, compelling Wallace to step aside during his symbolic "Stand in the Schoolhouse Door".
What’s next? Will some judge order President Trump to eat his vegetables?
Lefty Stevie Breyer’s POS brother.
LOL General Breyer will now command the troops.
Or what?
Enroll Chuckie in The Spandau Ballet.
Howinthehell does “U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco” have any authority over the goings-on in Los Angeles?
Anybody see the irony in this statement?
Activist Judge thinks he is President.
Appeal it all the way to the Supreme Court.
“Some leftist judge has authority over the Commander-in-Chief of our military”?
But boy, according to that headline they do.
Gotta wonder if this “judge” really believes such an “order” would ever be obeyed
Or
If there’s another agenda at work
Judge: GET STUFFED!
Is it only recently, say in the past 10 years or so, that district court judges could order a president to do or not to do anything? These little Napoleon wannabees are way out of their jurisdiction, imho.
Nope.
And appointed by Billy Jeff Clinton.
Judges have ultimate power on an issue until another judge or group of judges say they don’t on an issue. Congress has the power to rein them in, but they won’t. Congress has surrendered all power to them.
