A federal judge allowed President Trump at least two more days of free action to deploy troops to Los Angeles, putting off California’s request for an immediate restraining order Tuesday as the city prepared for another round of clashes between anti-deportation protesters and law enforcement.
The judge said Mr. Trump deserved a chance to answer California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s demands, and he set a hearing for Thursday to review the legal arguments over the deployment, which grew to 4,000 National Guard troops as well as 700 active-duty Marines.
