In a strong, fact-based opinion, US District Judge Charles Breyer (younger brother of former Supreme Court Justice Stepehen Breyer) ordered Trump’s deployment of troops to Los Angeles ended. I explain the decision here—it’s a message to higher courts not to turn away from the facts on the ground, from what President Trump is actually doing.
Thanks to Nick Valencia, Dianne Mize, Tantra Maat, Sherri L. Renner, JD, Kathi Foy, and many others for tuning in.
This is the kind of legal analysis that I did for 27 years at ABC News, and can now do on my own. It’s always been one of my favorite aspects of my work as a journalist, and I’m really glad I can do it here on Substack, too.
