A US District Judge has blocked the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles by the Trump administration. The decision, made on Friday, comes after California Governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti expressed concerns about the necessity of such a deployment in the city.
The Trump administration had planned to deploy the National Guard in Los Angeles to address the recent protests and civil unrest following the death of George Floyd. However, Judge James Wilson Jr. issued a temporary restraining order, siding with the state and city officials who argued that the deployment was unnecessary and could escalate tensions.
Governor Newsom welcomed the court’s decision, stating that the deployment of the National Guard was unwarranted and could undermine the community’s trust. Mayor Garcetti also supported the ruling, emphasizing the importance of maintaining peace and dialogue in the city.
The Trump administration has not yet responded to the court’s decision. President Trump previously criticized local leaders for their handling of the protests and had insisted on the deployment of National Guard troops in cities facing civil unrest.
The ruling is temporary, with a further hearing scheduled to determine the long-term validity of the restraining order. The debate surrounding the use of military forces in response to civil unrest continues to be a divisive issue in the larger national conversation on policing and racial justice.
