💨 Abstract

A federal judge in San Francisco is hearing arguments on whether the Trump administration illegally deployed National Guard soldiers and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles after protests over immigration raids. California is seeking an order to return control of troops to the state, citing violations of federal law and the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts the military's role in domestic law enforcement. The administration argues the troops were necessary to protect federal personnel and property amidst violent protests.
