A court blocked Trump's order to deploy the U.S. Army in Los Angeles

A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally federalized the National Guard last Saturday when he ordered the deployment of 2,000 troops in downtown Los Angeles to protect federal buildings and stop mass protests. 

LOS ANGELES (USA), 12/06/2025.- People gather for a rally following an incident where ICE agents rammed into a car to take a man into custody in the Boyle Heights neighborhood earlier that day; in Los Angeles, California, USA, 11 June 2025. US President Donald Trump has ordered the deployment of 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite not receiving a request from the state of California for any additional assistance, following large protests against ongoing immigration enforcement raids in the Los Angeles area over the last few days.

A court has overturned U.S. President Donald Trump's order to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles to stop the mass protests against migration raids.

A federal judge has ruled that Trump illegally federalized the National Guard last Saturday when he ordered the deployment of 2,000 troops in downtown Los Angeles to supposedly protect federal buildings and stop mass protests.

"What he did was illegal, exceeding his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, so he must immediately restore control of the National Guard to the Governor of the State," says the order issued by California Governor Gavin Newsom.

Thus, the Court "must determine whether the President followed the procedure ordered by Congress for his actions," the letter states.
