A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump's move to deploy California National Guard troops during protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles, calling the move "illegal" and ordering the Trump administration to return the control of the California National Guard to the control of Gov.

A federal judge ruled Thursday that President Trump illegally federalized the California National Guard in response to the Los Angeles protests and ordered that the force be returned to the control of Democratic Gov.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom had sued Trump in an attempt to block the deployment of federal troops in the city, which Newsom has called a “serious breach of state sovereignty.”
