U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled against President Donald Trump on Thursday, handing control of the state’s National Guard back to Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom amid ongoing protests to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles.
Newsweek reached out to the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) via email for comment.
Why It Matters
Trump has prioritized immigration control as a key pillar during his second administration. The president campaigned in 2024 on the promise of mass deportations and appointed Tom Homan as his administration’s border czar to execute his agenda.
Protests broke out on Friday in Los Angeles in reaction to numerous ICE raids in the area. Trump sent National Guard troops and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles, deeming they were necessary to help control the unrest over the weekend, against Newsom’s wishes.
What To Know
In an order following an afternoon hearing, Breyer concluded that “Defendants are temporarily ENJOINED from deploying members of the California National Guard in Los Angeles. Defendants are DIRECTED to return control of the California National Guard to Governor Newsom.”
In the case, Trump is the defendant and Newsom is the plaintiff.
