A federal judge has ruled that the Trump administration\u2019s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles<\/strong> during immigration enforcement protests violates the Posse Comitatus Act<\/strong>, which generally prohibits the use of federal troops for domestic law enforcement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ruling follows a lawsuit filed by California Governor Gavin Newsom and a three-day federal trial in San Francisco. Judge Charles Breyer issued the order, but temporarily stayed enforcement until September 12, 2025<\/strong>, allowing the administration time to appeal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n On Wednesday, the Trump administration filed a notice of appeal with the 9th U.S. Court of Appeals<\/strong>, challenging the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The administration argues that the National Guard and Marines were deployed to protect federal property and officers<\/strong>, not to perform local law enforcement duties.<\/p>\n\n\n\n A White House spokesperson stated, \u201cPresident Trump acted to safeguard Los Angeles from chaos and violence, and the administration is committed to protecting citizens while appealing this ruling.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n The court emphasized that federal troops cannot engage in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Exceptions may apply only under valid constitutional or statutory provisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The ruling applies only to California<\/strong> and does not restrict similar deployments in other states. Trump has indicated he may send troops to other cities, including Chicago, if he deems necessary.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The appeal process will determine whether the administration can continue to deploy federalized troops in domestic law enforcement situations or must fully comply with the Posse Comitatus Act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SEO Keywords:<\/strong> Trump National Guard Los Angeles, Posse Comitatus Act, Trump immigration protests, federal troops domestic law, Los Angeles protest deployment<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Federal Judge Rules National Guard Use During LA Protes […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"saved_in_kubio":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2219","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2219","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=2219"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2219\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2220,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2219\/revisions\/2220"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=2219"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=2219"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sportpro.cc\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=2219"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
