A United States District Court has issued a ruling affecting the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, California. Federal Judge Charles Breyer has mandated that the troops must be returned under the authority of the state governor, rejecting the federal government's rationale for their deployment.
The court decision challenges the federal government's position that the deployment was necessary to manage protests linked to immigration enforcement actions. Approximately 4,000 National Guard members were initially sent to Los Angeles in June, though the current number has been reduced to around 100. The federal government had extended the deployment through February, citing the need to protect federal personnel and property.
The ruling grants a preliminary injunction requested by California state officials but delays its enforcement until Monday. This decision may influence future deployments and federal-state relations concerning the use of National Guard troops.

The deployment faced resistance from state and local officials, who argued there was no serious emergency justifying the federal intervention. This ruling is part of broader disputes between the federal administration and states like California over the use of National Guard troops in domestic situations. The situation also extends to similar deployments in Portland, Oregon.
