The judge rejected California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D)’s urgent request to limit President Trump’s Los Angeles troops deployment.
Newsom asked a federal judge to intervene immediately on Tuesday to limit Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles, demanding an emergency ruling under the PDT at 1 p.m. that day. But U.S. District Court Judge Charles Breyer approved the Trump administration’s request for more time to respond to the news agency’s demands. The government must submit its arguments by 11 a.m. on Wednesday.
A spokesperson for news agency told Hill in a comment Tuesday: “The court did not require a temporary restraining order under the governor’s request. The court held a hearing Thursday after the federal government and state filed additional summary, and we expect the court to rule on the TRO’s request in a short time.
Trump and the news agency chased each other during the recent immigration protests in Los Angeles, and Trump even said he would support the arrest of the Golden State governor.
“The U.S. president is just calling for the arrest of the current governor. It’s a day I hope I will never see in the U.S. I don’t care if you’re a Democrat or a Republican, it’s a line we can’t cross as much as a country – it’s a step towards authoritarianism.
Vice President Vance also swung at Newsom on Monday, responding to Newsom’s post about Trump’s comments about his arrest, telling him to “do your job.”
He added: “That’s what we’re asking.”
