Court says Trump violated law in Los Angeles National Guard deployment
SACRAMENTO, Calif. — President Donald Trump violated federal law by seizing control of the California National Guard last year and deploying troops to the streets of Los Angeles during immigration protests, a federal appeals court ruled on Friday. A federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump violated federal law by seizing control of the California National Guard last year and deploying troops to the streets of Los Angeles during immigration protests. The ruling could provide an additional layer of legal assurance on the limits a president faces in using the military on American soil. The court's decision aligns with the Supreme Court's previous ruling that Trump did not have the power to federalize troops in Chicago last year. California has been in a legal dispute with the Trump administration over the immigration protests and troop deployments when Trump took command of troops over governor's objections. The case centers on whether a president may take control of a state’s National Guard under a particular section of law that Trump invoked in his order.
