Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom was dealt a judicial defeat after he requested an emergency motion to halt President Donald Trump’s order to use the military to oppose the Los Angeles riots.
Newsom named the president, the Defense secretary, and the Department of Defense as defendants in the request, and a judge allowed the defendants 24 hours to file a response to the request.
‘Defendants intend to use unlawfully federalized National Guard troops and Marines to accompany federal immigration enforcement officers on raids.’
United States District Judge Charles Breyer temporarily allowed the order to the National Guard to continue until Thursday, when the motion would be reconsidered after the defendants answered and the plaintiffs also responded.
