San Francisco, a federal judge on Wednesday ordered the Trump administration to stop deploying California National Guard members in Los Angeles to protect federal facilities and return command to Gov. Gavin Newsom. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer granted a preliminary injunction after California officials challenged federal Title 10 calls that moved roughly 4,000 troops earlier this year, leaving about 300 still federalized. The order follows prior temporary restraints and appellate rulings and was stayed for review; the administration plans to appeal. Senators will question military leaders about such deployments this coming week. Based on 6 articles reviewed and supporting research.
