A federal judge ordered President Trump to end his deployment of the California National Guard in Los Angeles, ruling Wednesday that he must return control to Gov. Gavin Newsom (D).

Roughly 100 troops remain in the city, and U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled that Trump illegally kept them deployed months after sending troops to combat immigration protests this summer.

"The Founders designed our government to be a system of checks and balances," Breyer wrote in his 35-page opinion. "Defendants, however, make clear that the only check they want is a blank one."
