A federal court blocked President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles, ruling the move exceeded presidential authority.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer on Wednesday stopped President Donald Trump’s order deploying National Guard troops to Los Angeles and directed that the units be returned to state control.
The Trump administration had argued that protests against immigration authorities in Los Angeles amounted to a rebellion that justified federalizing the Guard under emergency powers. Judge Breyer rejected that argument, finding that the protests did not meet the legal standard for such a declaration.
The ruling immediately ends federal command over the Guard and restores authority to California’s governor.
