Speaker 1 (00:06):
Good news for Lefties and America. Breaking news from good
News for Lefties, I'm bailable Frocklin. A federal judge has
delivered a resounding affirmation of civil liberties and democratic restraint,
ruling that President Trump's deployment of National Guard troops during

(00:26):
immigration protests in Los Angeles broke federal law. In a
detailed opinion, Judge Charles Breyer found the administration had clearly
violated the eighteen seventy eight Posse Comitatis Act, which prohibits
the use of military forces for domestic law enforcement. The
judge highlighted that deploying armed soldiers and military vehicles for

(00:50):
perimeter security, traffic blockades, and crowd control overstepped the legal
limits on the military's role in civilian society. This judicial
order followed a vigorous legal challenge by California Governor Gavin Newsom,
who insisted that federal authority cannot trample state and constitutional protections.

(01:12):
Newsom hailed the court's ruling as a victory for California
communities and a powerful repudiation of efforts to militarize our
streets and the use of military against US citizens. The
ruling underscores the importance of local governments and the judiciary
standing together to defend the rule of law and the
rights of people to protest and assemble peaceably. Testimony at

(01:34):
trial revealed that National Guard troops whose identities were masked
by protective gear, participated directly in controlling demonstrations and enforcing
security operations, moves specifically barred by their own training and
by federal statute. The judges order restricts further military involvement
in traffic, crowd management, arrests, and searches, and sets a

(01:57):
strong precedent against expanded domestic military intervention in American cities.
As advocates for justice and democracy celebrate this decision, Los
Angeles and cities around the country are reminded that the
Constitution's checks and balances still safeguard communities from federal overreach,
even in turbulent times. This ruling not only marks a

(02:20):
critical win for peaceful demonstrators and immigrant communities, but also
offers hope for a future where federal power is held
accountable and rights are faithfully protected. For all, that's it
for now. Remember if this story brighten your outlook, please
