Trump-Newsom Legal Battle Over National Guard Paused | JQJO

A federal judge in San Francisco has paused the legal battle between California Governor Gavin Newsom and President Donald Trump over the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles. Following a Ninth Circuit appeals court decision, Judge Charles Breyer requested briefs from both sides to clarify his jurisdiction regarding the Posse Comitatus Act before deciding whether to issue an injunction. The dispute stems from Trump's federalization of the California National Guard in response to protests following ICE raids. Judge Breyer's decision delays resolution, leaving the legal status of the troops' deployment uncertain.
