San Francisco — A federal judge in San Francisco will consider evidence and hear arguments on whether the Trump administration violated federal law when it deployed National Guard soldiers and U.S. Marines to Los Angeles following protests over immigration raids this summer.

The Pentagon is ending the deployment of all but 250 National Guard troops that remained in Los Angeles who were originally sent to the city to deal with protests over the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown.

A three-day bench trial will begin Monday over whether President Trump’s National Guard deployment to Los Angeles violated a general prohibition on using federal troops as civilian law enforcement. U.
