The U.S. government's unprecedented use of National Guard troops in Los Angeles to protect officers carrying out President Donald Trump's immigration crackdown was illegal and should be ended, a lawyer for the state of California told a federal judge on Tuesday.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Wednesday that there will be “very severe consequences” if Russian President Vladimir Putin does not agree to stop his war in Ukraine after their Friday summit in Alaska,

The meeting will be the first time in four years that a U.S. president has met with Putin since the Russia-Ukraine war began.

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.

A federal judge in Los Angeles will soon decide on whether the Trump administration violated federal law when it deployed National Guard soldiers and Marines to Los Angeles in June amid protests over immigration raids.
