Trump's National Guard deployment was illegal, federal judge rules

A federal judge ruled that President Trump's action to federalize California's National Guard was illegal, undermining state authority. The Trump administration has vowed to appeal the decision, intensifying the ongoing legal battle. Concurrently, Senator Alex Padilla faced removal from a press conference held by Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem for interrupting to ask questions. In response to federal immigration policies, over 100 protesters marched in National City, emphasizing local opposition to enforcement measures. This ruling reflects the broader conflict between state governance and federal overreach.

Local leaders express ongoing concerns regarding the implications of federal immigration enforcement. The National Guard's federalization has raised questions about state rights and the limits of federal power. The situation continues to develop as both sides prepare for potential further legal actions.
