Federal Court to Rule on Trump’s Troop Deployment in Response to ICE Raid Protests

The court hearing comes with nationwide protests persisting ahead of the June 14 day of action.

Overview

  • ICE raids that began June 6 in Los Angeles led to dozens of arrests and triggered sustained demonstrations against federal immigration enforcement.
  • President Trump ordered 4,000 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty Marines into Los Angeles to protect federal buildings and assist ICE agents.
  • California Governor Gavin Newsom sued under the Posse Comitatus Act and will argue today before Judge Charles Breyer for a restraining order on the troop deployment.
  • Demonstrations have spread to more than 30 cities, where law enforcement has used tear gas, pepper balls, stun grenades and mass arrests to disperse crowds.
  • Protesters are organizing a nationwide day of action for June 14 to coincide with Trump’s military parade, which the administration has warned will meet “very heavy force.”
