Judge blocks Trump administration’s use of troops in California

A federal judge today blocked President Donald Trump’s administration from using the military to fight crime in California, as the Republican president threatens to send troops to more U.S. cities, including Chicago. San Francisco-based U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer found that the Trump administration violated a law known as the Posse Comitatus Act with its June deployment of 4,000 National Guard and 700 active duty U.S. Marines to Los Angeles. The law sharply limits the use of federal troops for domestic enforcement.
