💨 Abstract

A federal judge is considering whether the Trump administration broke the law by deploying National Guard troops to assist immigration raids in Southern California. California contends that the troops, initially sent to protect federal property, later conducted law enforcement activities, violating the Posse Comitatus Act. The administration argues the president has inherent powers to deploy troops in support of law enforcement. The trial concluded after three days, with testimonies from officials and discussions on the act's applicability.
