Tells \u2018Dreamers\u2019: \u2018This Is Your Home \u2026 We Recognize You For The Americans That You Are\u2019\">recent federal court ruling<\/a> which persistent that the deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act. This 1878 law restricts the use of federal troops for domestic law enforcement purposes. The lawsuit, brought by California Governor Gavin Newsom and other state officials, challenges the federalization and deployment of troops to Los Angeles in June to respond to civil unrest. U.S. District Judge Charles breyer ruled that the troops unlawfully acted in a policing capacity, prohibiting them from engaging in activities such as arrests and crowd control. The judge delayed enforcement of this ruling to allow the administration to appeal.The Trump administration contends that the troops were onyl protecting federal property and personnel, not enforcing laws, but the court found these arguments unpersuasive.This appeal represents the second time the administration has taken this matter to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. Meanwhile, Governor Newsom has requested a preliminary injunction to prevent the federal government from controlling additional California National Guard troops amid ongoing litigation. <br \/> <!DOCTYPE html><br \/>\n<?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><html><body><\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Trump administration appeals ruling LA troop deployment violated federal law<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_2220135\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/trump-administration\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Trump administration<\/a> said in a court filing Wednesday that it will appeal a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jack-smith-is-appealing-the-dismissal-of-the-trump-classified-documents-case\/\" title=\"Jack Smith is ...ing the dismissal of the Trump c...ssified documents case\">federal judge&#038;rsquo<\/a>;s Tuesday <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3789511\/judge-trump-deployment-national-guard-los-angeles-violated-federal-law\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ruling<\/a> that the deployed National Guard troops in Los Angeles unlawfully acted as a police force.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/storage.courtlistener.com\/recap\/gov.uscourts.cand.450934\/gov.uscourts.cand.450934.187.0_1.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">filing<\/a> marks the second time the administration has appealed a ruling from U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit in the lawsuit filed by Gov. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gavin-newsom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Gavin Newsom<\/a> (D-CA) and other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">California<\/a> officials over the deployment of federal troops to LA in June.
