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.

The Los Angeles field office director for the Department of Homeland Security testified on Monday that Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers desperately needed the help of military personnel in carrying out arrests.

Attorneys for Gov. Gavin Newsom headed back to court Monday over President Donald Trump ’s use of the California National Guard to subdue protests in Los Angeles, a tactic the White House is now repeating in the nation’s capital in what’s it’s calling a crime crackdown.
