Judge rejects Newsom’s emergency request to limit Trump LA troop deployment

A judge has rejected California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s (D) emergency request to limit President Trump’s Los Angeles troop deployment.

Newsom had earlier Tuesday asked a federal judge to immediately intervene to limit Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in L.A., asking for an emergency ruling by 1 p.m. PDT that day. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, however, granted the Trump administration’s request for more time to respond to Newsom’s request. The administration has until 11 a.m. PDT Wednesday to submit its arguments.

“The court did not deny or rule on the Governor’s request for a temporary restraining order. The court set a hearing for Thursday, after the federal government and the state file additional briefs, and we anticipate the court will rule on the request for a TRO a short time later,” a Newsom spokesperson told The Hill on Tuesday when reached for comment.
