Judge declines to immediately grant Newsom emergency order blocking troops in LA


District Judge Charles Breyer did not grant a request from California officials Tuesday to immediately block President Donald Trump‘s use of troops to quell violence in Los Angeles, but Breyer did set a hearing to consider the motion.

Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) and California Attorney General Rob Bonta asked Breyer earlier in the day to issue a temporary restraining order blocking the president’s use of the National Guard and Marines to act as law enforcement in Los Angeles immediately, without a formal response from the Trump administration. The California officials had asked for a response by 4 p.m. Eastern, while the Justice Department asked for 24 hours to issue a response to the motion.
