Judge rejects California’s attempt to halt Trump’s military deployment

Daily Caller News Foundation

A federal judge on Tuesday refused California’s bid to immediately block President Donald Trump from deploying Marines and National Guard troops to aid in law enforcement across the state, including immigration-related operations.

The ruling is not permanent.

U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer instead set a Thursday hearing to weigh the state’s request for a temporary restraining order, according to CNN. California officials urged the court to act immediately, asking for an emergency block without waiting for a response from the administration. Breyer denied the request, calling for additional arguments from both sides before issuing a ruling.

The Department of Justice, in a brief filed Tuesday afternoon, dismissed the state’s motion as “legally meritless” and warned that halting the deployment could endanger Homeland Security personnel and obstruct federal enforcement efforts. The hearing comes amid escalating tensions between the Trump administration and Democratic leaders in California, who have pushed back against federal immigration raids and questioned the legality of involving military personnel in domestic enforcement.
