Judge Rules Trump’s Use of National Guard in Los Angeles Illegal Under Federal Law

Image
A major legal showdown unfolded this week as a federal judge struck down former President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy thousands of National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles, declaring the move a violation of long-standing U.S. law. The ruling, handed down on September 2, 2025, by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco, has already sparked nationwide debate over presidential authority and the limits of military power on domestic soil. At the centre of this case is the Posse Comitatus Act , a law dating back to 1878, which restricts the use of federal troops for civilian law enforcement. According to Judge Breyer, Trump’s order directly crossed that line. The ruling found that the troops, who were brought in during immigration-related protests and unrest earlier this summer, were engaged in roles such as crowd control, traffic barricades, and perimeter security. Those are all considered law enforcement functions, and therefore illegal for federalized military f...
