Trump issues furious response after judge said he ‘illegally deployed’ National Guard for LA protests

Donald Trump took to his social media platform, Truth Social, to express his anger after a federal judge ruled that he acted illegally when he sent the National Guard into Los Angeles during a time of unrest.

The incident started when protests and riots broke out in LA over the actions of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers. In response, Trump decided to deploy the National Guard to take control of the situation, saying he wanted to stop the city from being destroyed. He claimed the city was on the verge of chaos, and that urgent action was needed to restore order.

However, the problem was that Trump did this without getting permission from California’s governor, Gavin Newsom. In the United States, the National Guard is usually under the control of each state’s governor unless the president takes special steps allowed by law to take over that control. California quickly filed a lawsuit, arguing that Trump had no legal authority to send in the troops without the governor’s approval.

The case was brought before U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, who carefully reviewed whether Trump had followed the law when he gave the order. After examining all the details, Judge Breyer said clearly that Trump’s actions were not legal. He explained that the president must follow rules set by Congress, and in this case, Trump had not done that. As a result, the judge ordered that control of California’s National Guard be returned immediately to Governor Newsom.

This ruling made Trump furious. He responded quickly and strongly on Truth Social, writing long and emotional posts defending his decision. He accused the Biden administration and Governor Newsom of allowing millions of undocumented immigrants to enter the country, which he claimed had damaged public services like schools and hospitals. He said that these immigrants were using up billions in government funds through welfare programs, and that this had hurt American communities.

Trump went on to describe the situation as an “invasion,” saying that America was being taken over and turned into a struggling third-world country. He said his goal was to reverse this trend through what he called “Remigration,” which means sending undocumented immigrants and certain criminals back to their home countries. He strongly supported ICE officers, saying they were doing dangerous work and being threatened simply for trying to do their jobs. He called them brave and promised they would always have his support.

Then, in another post made shortly after the first one, Trump continued to criticize Governor Newsom. He said Newsom should have been thanking him for taking action, not blaming him. Trump claimed that if he had not acted by sending in the National Guard, Los Angeles would have been completely destroyed by now. According to him, Newsom failed in his leadership, and Trump had to step in to prevent the situation from getting worse.

In his eyes, his decision to send in the troops was not only necessary but heroic. He painted himself as someone who took quick and bold action to save a major American city from burning, while accusing state leaders of doing nothing but complaining and pointing fingers. Even though the judge ruled against him, Trump stood firm, showing no regret and continuing to insist that he did the right thing.
