The restraining order, issued by District Judge Charles R. Breyer, was announced late Thursday, June 12, and stated that the president unlawfully federalized the National Guard members.
The ruling was to take effect at noon West Coast time on Friday, June 13. but shortly after, an appeals court delayed its implementation pending a hearing it has scheduled for Tuesday, June 17.
Breyer's order is a significant rebuke to Trump’s attempt to station 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles, a decision that has sparked nearly a week of political turmoil and widespread protests across the nation.
The order does not address deployment of 700 Marines in LA.
In his ruling, Breyer dismissed part of the Trump administration’s justification for mobilizing the National Guard, asserting that “the protests in Los Angeles fall far short of ‘rebellion.’ ”
