A federal judge has ruled that President Trump’s deployment of 5,000 U.S. military troops to Los Angeles during protests sparked by immigration raids was unlawful, violating both the Posse Comitatus Act and the 10th Amendment. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer said the action risked creating a “national police force” under presidential control, noting the troop presence in L.A. was larger than the U.S. deployment to Afghanistan after 9/11. The ruling is stayed until Sept. 12 to allow for appeal.
