A federal judge in San Francisco seemed unconvinced after a three-day trial that the continued deployment of federalized members of California’s National Guard — who were originally deployed to Los Angeles in response to protests against President Donald Trump’s immigration agenda — is lawful.

President Trump is calling up the D.C. National Guard and federal law enforcement to address crime in the capital.

Trump has greater authority over the D.C. National Guard than state national guards because of the federal government’s control over the nation’s capital. Governors control the state guards, although the president can federalize the guard in an emergency or for use in combat operations.
