United States: Federal court rules against President Trump decision to deploy National Guard in Washington, D.C.

In the United States, a federal court ruled against President Donald Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C., under the pretext of fighting crime. District Judge Jia Cobb ruled that the intervention ordered by the White House is unconstitutional and exceeds the president's powers. According to the ruling, the president cannot mobilize these forces unless there is a specific legal basis in the current regulations to support it. Last August, Trump ordered the deployment of over 300 National Guard soldiers, which led to tension between the federal government and the local administration.
