Federal Judge Temporarily Blocks National Guard Deployment to Washington D.C.

A U.S. federal judge has halted a planned deployment of National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. The Trump administration had ordered the deployment. District Judge Jia M. Cobb issued the order to stop the mobilization. However, she delayed the effect of her ruling until December 11. This one-week pause gives the administration time to file an appeal. The government can now ask a higher court to review and potentially reverse the decision. The legal process will determine the final outcome.
