Federal Judge Rebuked, Troops Remain in LA | JQJO

Federal troops deployed in Los Angeles will remain under presidential control through the weekend, despite a judge's ruling that the deployment was illegal. A court of appeals stayed a temporary restraining order that would have returned control of the troops to California. The Trump administration cites protecting ICE agents and quelling protests as justification, while the judge deemed the actions a violation of the Tenth Amendment. The legal battle raises questions about presidential authority and states' rights, drawing parallels to historical precedents including the Fugitive Slave Act. A higher court will review the decision early next week, with potential implications for similar actions elsewhere.
