A federal judge ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority by federalizing the California National Guard without the consent of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom filed an emergency motion on Tuesday to block the Trump administration's deployment of Marines and National Guard.

The governor's office says the proclamation "is a precautionary measure in reaction to recent instances of civil unrest across the country."

The National Guard has at times detained protesters in its deployment to Los Angeles, an official said Wednesday, as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs enforcement raids spread to other major cities.

An appeals court allowed Trump to keep the National Guard in L.A. The Trump administration denied involvement in Israel’s strikes on Iran. Kilmar Abrego García pleaded not guilty to human smuggling. A Smithsonian director resigned following Trump’s attempt to fire her.
