A federal judge is hearing arguments over whether the Trump administration should continue its deployment of troops to Los Angeles

An appeals court ruled it was lawful for President Trump to keep National Guard troops in L.A. – a move that hasn’t happened without a governor’s consent since 1965. Governor Newsom criticized the ruling but welcomed the court’s rejection of unchecked presidential power.

Since his first term, Trump has promised action on everything from tax legislation to health care within a fortnight — only for his announcements to materialize months later or not at all.

US President Donald Trump signaled he would give diplomacy a chance before deciding whether to strike Iran, dialing back on recent comments that suggested military action could be imminent.
