Judge Blocks Trump's Guard Deployments in D.C.

Federal Judge Orders Trump Administration to End National Guard Deployments in Washington D.C.A federal judge, Jia Cobb, has ruled that President Trumps deployment of National Guard troops in Washington D.C. violates the Constitution and interferes with local officials authority over law enforcement. However, the order is on hold for twenty-one days to allow for an appeal. The decision comes after District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb filed a lawsuit challenging the Guard deployments. The Trump administration argued that Congress gave the president the power to control the D.C. National Guards operations, but the judge disagreed. This ruling is part of ongoing legal challenges to Trumps Guard deployments, including one in September where a federal judge ruled that the administration illegally sent Guard troops to the Los Angeles area after protests.
