Judge Temporarily Blocks Deployment of National Guard in Los Angeles
not needed to protect against civil unrest."
In a major blow to President Donald Trump's plans to use military force to quell civil unrest, a U.S. judge has temporarily blocked the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles. The ruling came after a lawsuit was filed by civil rights groups, arguing that the Guard was not needed to protect against any potential violence. The decision was made by Judge David O. Carter, who stated that the use of military force should only be used as a last resort. This ruling is a significant victory for those who believe that the use of military force can escalate tensions and potentially lead to violence. The lawsuit was filed after Trump threatened to deploy the National Guard to major cities across the country in response to the ongoing protests against police brutality and racial injustice. The ruling also comes at a time when the Trump administration is facing widespread criticism for its handling of the protests, including the use of force against peaceful demonstrators. The use of military force on American soil is a highly controversial topic, and this decision highlights the importance of following proper legal procedures and respecting the rights of citizens. The ruling is only temporary, and a final decision will be made after a hearing on June 18. This development adds to the growing tension between the Trump administration and the civil rights groups, with the president's response to the protests being heavily criticized. It remains to be seen how this decision will impact the ongoing protests and the federal government's plans to respond to them. The ruling also serves as a reminder that the judicial branch of the government plays a crucial role in keeping checks and balances in place, and ensuring the protection of citizens' rights.
