A federal judge has declined California Gov. Gavin Newsom's (D) request for an immediate restraining order to stop the Trump administration from deploying military personnel to enforce immigration law.
Why it matters: President Trump has ordered 4,000 National Guard members and 700 active-duty Marines to Los Angeles after immigration raids sparked protests in the city and beyond.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer declined Newsom's emergency ruling request, but granted the Trump administration's request for more time to respond to the governor's filing. The federal government has until 2 p.m. ET Wednesday to file its response.
Breyer wrote that the state will have an opportunity to file its opposition ahead of a scheduled Thursday hearing.
Driving the news: On Tuesday, Newsom requested a temporary restraining order against the Trump administration to "prevent the use of federalized National Guard and active duty Marines for law enforcement purposes on the streets of a civilian city."
