Judge says Trump cannot use National Guard in Los Angeles

A judge in California said that President Trump was wrong to send the National Guard to Los Angeles. The judge said that the president cannot use the army to help with police work in the city. The judge said this is not allowed by the law.

President Trump sent the National Guard to Los Angeles because there were protests. The governor of California, Mr. Newsom, did not agree with this. He went to court and asked the judge to stop the president from using the National Guard in this way.

The judge said that the National Guard cannot do police jobs like arresting people or controlling crowds. The judge also said that the president should not use the army like a police force. The president can try to change this decision, but for now, he cannot use the National Guard in Los Angeles.
