Trump's use of National Guard in Los Angeles was illegal, judge rules
LOS ANGELES — A federal judge in California has ruled that the way President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles this summer was illegal.The ruling comes as Trump seeks to use National Guard troops in order to crack down on crime in other US cities and support immigration enforcement.US District Judge Charles Breyer said Trump violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which limits the power of the federal government to use military force for domestic matters.White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said that "a rogue judge is trying to usurp the authority of the Commander-in-Chief to protect American cities from violence and destruction".The ruling is on hold until 12 September.The Trump administration will likely appeal against the ruling."The President is committed...
