A federal judge ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority by federalizing the California National Guard without the consent of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The administration appealed a judge’s order blocking its use of the National Guard in Los Angeles, stopping it from taking effect. But the order was a sharp rebuke to the president’s deployment of troops on U.

Trump's effort to use the military to quell protests received pushback for his staff during his first administration. Now he's trying again.

Washington – The American military has authorized “the voluntary departure” of troops’ dependents from locations across the Middle East as tensions with Iran have risen, two U.S. officials said Wednesday. One U.S. defense official said the order came from Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth.

The DHS secretary's request would have exceeded authorities invoked by President Trump when he deployed the National Guard to LA.
