A federal judge ordered President Donald Trump on Thursday to return control of the California National Guard to Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom.
Judge Charles B. Breyer temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying members of the California National Guard in Los Angeles. He paused his order from taking effect until Friday at noon.
“At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions,” the judge wrote. “He did not. His actions were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.”
