A federal judge denied Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s request to quash President Donald Trump’s deployment of California’s National Guard troops to riot zones in Los Angeles.

Judge Charles Breyer, who was appointed by former President Bill Clinton, denied Newsom’s emergency request for a Temporary Restraining Order regarding Trump deploying 4,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles.

Breyer also “granted” the Trump administration’s request for additional time to “file a response brief,” and gave them a deadline of Wednesday morning.

“Plaintiffs Gavin Newsom and the State of California filed an Ex Parte Motion for a Temporary Restraining Order at 11:00 A.M. on June 10, 2025,” Breyer said in his filing. “Defendants Donald Trump, Pete Hegseth, and the Department of Defense requested ’24 hours from the time that Plaintiffs files their motion for temporary restraining order to file a response brief.'”

 

Breyer added that “Plaintiffs may file a response to that opposition by” Thursday morning.
