The Court Begins Hearing on the Disbanding of the National Guard in California

• The court is considering the legality of the disbandment of the National Guard in Los Angeles.
• The lawsuit was filed by the Governor of California against the Trump administration.
• Trump asserts that the disbandment of military units is necessary to protect federal property.

In San Francisco, the court is beginning to hear whether the Trump administration violated federal laws by disbanding the National Guard in Los Angeles. This decision was made during protests against immigration raids that began in mid-June 2025.

California filed a lawsuit against President Trump, asserting that his actions violated the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits the use of military forces in domestic affairs without legal justification. After the protests that took place on July 7, Trump ordered federal agents to arrest members of the National Guard, regardless of the governor's ban.

The court will determine whether the situation in Los Angeles met the conditions that allow the president to disband the National Guard. During this process, Judge Charles Breyer has already indicated that the Trump administration exceeded its authority, violating ten amendments of the U.S. Constitution.

At this moment, most of the 4,000 soldiers who were disbanded have already left, but about 250 nationalists still remain in Los Angeles. Trump claims that the disbandment of military units is necessary to protect federal buildings and personnel.

The court proceedings will last three days, during which testimony is expected from representatives of the National Guard and other military structures.
