In a major court ruling, a U.S. judge has temporarily restricted the military from carrying out law enforcement duties in Los Angeles. The order is set to take effect on June 13 at 12 PM Pacific Time.
As part of the ruling, the California National Guard must be placed back under the control of Governor Gavin Newsom, rather than federal authorities.
The judge’s decision highlights concerns over the military’s involvement in domestic policing and reinforces the legal boundary between civilian and military roles in law enforcement.
Judge says Trump deployed the National Guard for an unlawful purpose, according to court ruling.
UPDATE: The Court of Appeals has granted Trump’s motion to stay the National Guard ruling, delaying Governor Newsom’s takeover. The National Guard will not shift control tomorrow.
This is a developing story, and further legal updates are expected in the coming days.
