Judge to evaluate presidential authority in federalizing state forces
1.
A three-day federal trial began Monday examining President Donald Trump's decision to deploy National Guard troops to Los Angeles without California Governor Gavin Newsom's consent. The case centers on whether the president legally federalized approximately 4,000 National Guard soldiers in June in response to protests and unrest related to Immigration and Customs Enforcement activities. Judge Charles Breyer, a Clinton appointee, is presiding over the proceedings.
