Judge Orders Trump Admin to Release Military Deployment Documents | JQJO

A federal judge ordered the Trump administration to release documents and allow depositions regarding the deployment of military troops in Southern California. This follows a 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruling that upheld the president's authority to federalize the National Guard but didn't address potential Posse Comitatus Act violations. California argues the troops' assistance with immigration raids violates this act, while the administration claims they were performing protective functions. The judge's order grants California access to evidence and key officials, potentially revealing the extent of military involvement in civilian law enforcement.
