Judge Temporarily Blocks Trump From Deploying National Guard in D.C.

A federal judge temporarily blocked the Trump administration from deploying over 2,000 National Guard troops in Washington D.C., finding the deployment likely unlawful. Judge Jia M. Cobb, appointed by Biden, ruled that the deployment infringed on D.C.'s self-governance rights, especially since many troops were from other states. The ruling, which pauses until December 11, follows similar findings in other cities, highlighting concerns over the president's expanded powers in D.C.
