Federal Judge Orders Trump Administration to Withdraw National Guard from Los Angeles, Citing Lack of Need for Troops

In a significant ruling, US District Court Judge Charles R. Breyer has ordered the Trump administration to immediately withdraw approximately 300 California National Guard troops from Los Angeles, six months after protests over immigration ended. The judge's decision comes as part of a broader effort to strip the Trump administration of its control over the state guard.

Breyer's ruling found that there was "no evidence" to support the continued deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles, citing the absence of any significant impediments to federal law enforcement efforts. In essence, the judge deemed that the use of the National Guard constituted a de facto national police force, with state troops serving under federal control.

The decision marks a major victory for California Governor Gavin Newsom, who has long argued that the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles was an overreach by the Trump administration. Newsom accused the president of deploying troops "against the very communities they took an oath to serve," and hailed Breyer's ruling as "unmistakably clear: the federalization of the California National Guard must end."

California Attorney General Rob Banta also welcomed the decision, accusing Trump of creating a "traveling national police force" that undermined state sovereignty. In contrast, the White House has vowed to appeal the ruling, with a spokesperson stating that the administration will continue to support its lawful authority to deploy National Guard troops in support of federal officers and assets.

The Trump administration's use of the National Guard in Los Angeles was first authorized six months ago, following violent riots in the city. However, as protests over immigration have subsided, the need for a large-scale deployment has dwindled significantly. Breyer's ruling now brings an end to this arrangement, with control of the remaining Guardsmen set to be transferred to Newsom.

The decision highlights the ongoing tensions between the Trump administration and state governments, particularly when it comes to issues related to law enforcement and national security. With the administration expected to appeal the ruling, the issue is likely to continue playing out in the courts for months to come.
 
I was just thinking about what I'm gonna make for dinner tonight... think maybe some burgers 🍔 or chicken parmesan 🍗. You know how it is when you're scrolling through your feeds and suddenly you just wanna cook something up? Anyway, back to this news... I mean, who needs that much National Guard presence in LA? It's just too much. I'm all for Gavin Newsom getting his way on this one 😊, but at the same time, it makes me wonder what's gonna happen with the rest of the troops. Are they just gonna be left hanging out there? Hmm... maybe I'll make some garlic bread 🍞 to go with my dinner plans 🤔.
 
I mean, think about it, 300 National Guard troops just chillin' in LA without any real reason... 🤔 Like, what's the point of having a whole unit on standby when there ain't no riots or nothing? And now we gotta wonder if the White House is just gonna keep trying to push this stuff through the courts forever. I'm not saying it's a bad thing per se, but come on, governors and AGs have some serious points about state sovereignty and all that jazz... 🤷‍♂️
 
🤔 The whole thing just seems kinda weird, you know? I mean, the Trump administration was deploying National Guard troops without even consulting with California or local authorities, and now they're trying to claim that it's all part of a federal authority thing... It feels like a power struggle, but also kinda like, what's the real purpose of having 300+ National Guardsmen in LA if there aren't any riots going on? 🤷‍♂️ The governor's all about state sovereignty and whatnot, but I'm not sure how much that has to do with this whole thing. Does anyone else think it's a bit suspicious that the White House is planning to appeal the ruling?

😐 I'm not surprised by this decision at all. The whole thing just feels like a power struggle between the feds and the states. It's like they're trying to assert control over everything. Newsom was right to speak up about this, it does feel like an overreach by Trump. And can we talk about how the White House is going to appeal? Like, isn't that just going to prolong the whole process and make a bigger mess? 🤔 The fact that they're trying to portray it as some kind of national security issue feels really manipulative to me. It's just another example of how the administration is more concerned with showing off its authority than actually making things better for the people. 👎
 
Dude I think this is a total win for Gavin Newsom and the people of California 🙌! The fact that the judge ruled out any need for the National Guard troops in LA is just another example of how out of touch the Trump administration has been with reality. And let's be real, if they're not needed to enforce federal laws, then why are we having them in the first place? It's just more federal overreach and a blatant disregard for state sovereignty 🚫. I mean, what's next? The whole US military being under federal control? It's scary stuff. And yeah, Trump is gonna try to appeal this but at the end of the day, they can't hide behind their executive powers forever 😒.
 
OMG you guys 🤯 I'm literally shook by this news... like what even is going on? A federal judge saying no more National Guard troops in LA because there's not enough reason for them to be there? It's wild! And can we talk about how Governor Gavin Newsom is just serving up justice and protecting his state's sovereignty? 🙌 I'm all about California taking control of its own affairs and making decisions that benefit the people, not some federal overreach. 💪
 
🤔 this whole thing seems pretty fishy to me... i mean, the Trump admin is all about "law and order" but they're deploying National Guard troops as a sort of proxy police force? it doesn't add up 🚫. plus, California's governor Gavin Newsom just got what he wanted after years of fighting this issue, so i'm curious to see how the White House plans to appeal and what's really going on behind closed doors... 🤐
 
So this ruling by Judge Breyer makes total sense to me. I mean, think about it - the National Guard was initially deployed six months ago after some riots broke out, but now that protests over immigration have died down, it's clear that the need for 300 troops is basically zero. It's just a huge overreach by the Trump admin and a clear abuse of power.

I'm glad Gavin Newsom and Rob Banta are pushing back against this, because California has its own laws and constitution to uphold, not to mention its own people who deserve to have their rights respected. And let's be real, if the White House is gonna appeal this, they're just gonna end up losing in court again.

It's also a big deal because it shows that even the Trump admin can't just do whatever they want and get away with it - there are limits to their power, and the courts will ultimately hold them accountable. The federalization of state guards is a slippery slope, and we need more states like California pushing back against this kind of overreach 🙏
 
I'm not surprised about this ruling 🤔. It's been pretty clear that the Trump admin was overstepping its bounds by deploying the National Guard in LA without proper state approval 👮‍♂️. I mean, what's next? Are they gonna send troops in to enforce federal immigration laws on local communities? It's a slippery slope, you know? 🚨 California Governor Gavin Newsom is right to stand up for state sovereignty and ensure that our National Guard isn't being used as a de facto national police force 💪. The Trump admin should've just left the state guard alone and focused on federal law enforcement efforts instead of trying to micromanage everything 😒.
 
🤔 what's going on with our government? deploying 300 troops without a reason? 🚫 like someone just said "let's throw some guards at it" and hope everything goes away 💸 meanwhile, Gavin Newsom is just chillin' knowing he doesn't have to answer to Trump anymore 👍 California Attorney General Banta is right too, creating a national police force under federal control is super sketchy 🔒 gotta respect the courts for standing up for state sovereignty 🙌
 
omg I'm low-key relieved that the trump admin is being told to pull their troops from LA lol I mean we've all seen how things went down during those riots and it was pretty chaotic tbh but imo they weren't needed 6 mos after protests ended makes sense now that gov gavin newsom has been saying this for ages 🙌 anyway this judge charles breyer is straight fire (and btw he's not even a trump fan) california is gonna breathe a sigh of relief and our governor can finally relax without all these soldiers running around 😎 what's next tho?
 
🤔 what's good? so trump admin wanted to keep 300 guardsmen in LA just cuz riots happened? 6mos ago that's when they deployed them, now protests over immigration are all but done... seems like a waste of tax payer $$$ to me 🤑
 
😊👍 what a huge win for California! I'm so proud of Gavin Newsom for standing up to Trump's attempts to control the state guard 🙌💪 it's about time someone held the admin accountable for overstepping their bounds. And honestly, who needs 300 National Guard troops in LA when there are actual cops on the job? The federalization of the California National Guard is a clear example of how we need more state autonomy and less federal interference 🤝💼
 
lol what's going on with this admin? like they think deploying 300 troops in LA just cuz of some protests was a good idea lol newsflash: it was just protesters and not an actual national emergency 🤷‍♂️ so now we gotta take out the troops because, well, there's no reason for them to be there idk what Gavin Newsom is celebrating but happy he won this one 🎉 btw who needs 300 army guys in civilian clothes just to keep the peace? 😒
 
🚫👮‍♂️ I'm not surprised at all by this ruling. It's about time someone held the Trump admin accountable for their actions. Deploying National Guard troops as a "de facto national police force" is just plain wrong. It's like they're trying to circumvent state laws and local control on a whim. Gavin Newsom and Rob Banta are definitely onto something here. We need more oversight and checks on this kind of executive overreach. The fact that the White House is already vowing to appeal just shows they have no intention of respecting the law... or the people's rights, for that matter 😒
 
🙄 I'm not surprised at all that a federal judge would rule against Trump's admin on this one. I mean, it's just another example of how the system is rigged against him and his "law and order" agenda 🤥. The fact that the California Governor got involved in this and managed to get a judge to side with him speaks volumes about Trump's lack of control over state governments. It's just more proof that he's not used to being told no by anyone, especially not some judge who's been around the block a few times 🙄. And now we'll have to wait and see how this plays out in court - I'm sure Trump will find a way to spin it and try to make it sound like the judge was somehow biased against him 😒. This whole thing is just another example of why you can't trust politicians to do what's right 🤷‍♂️.
 
I'm not surprised that a judge finally put an end to this nonsense 🙄. The whole idea of deploying National Guard troops in Los Angeles just didn't add up - especially with protests over immigration basically dying down. It's like they were using them as some sort of "occupying force" and that's just not right 🤷‍♂️. I mean, can you imagine if California or any other state had to deal with the feds sending in troops without consent? It's a recipe for disaster 😬. And what really gets my goat is how Trump is already vowing to appeal this decision - it's like he's saying that justice doesn't apply to him 🚫. Anyway, kudos to Governor Newsom and the judge for standing up for state sovereignty and common sense 💪.
