The secretary of internal security, Kristi Noem, undertook on Thursday to continue Immigration repression Despite waves of troubles in the United States, while in Texas, thousands of national guard troops were pending in the event of a problem.
A few hours later, a federal judge made a temporary ban order ordering Trump to return custody in California. The order, which comes into force at noon on Friday, said that the deployment of the guard was illegal and both raped the tenth amendment and exceeded its statutory authority.
The White House made no immediate comments on the decision.
Governor Gavin Newsom had asked the judge to put an emergency stop to the troops helping to make immigration raids.
The developments took place while the country’s cities prepared for major events Against President Donald Trump this weekend, and their leaders begged residents to protest peacefully.
Noem said the immigration raids that have fueled demonstrations will progress, saying that the agents had thousands of targets.
“This will only continue until we have peace in the streets of Los Angeles,” she said at an interrupted press conference by shouting from the American senator Alex Padilla, a Californian Democrat who was forcibly removed from the event.
Newsom warned that military intervention is part of a Wider Trump effort To reverse standards at the heart of the democracy of the nation. He also said that sending the national guard troops to raids fiery tensions In Los Angeles, where large and sometimes volatile demonstrations have broken out since the start of repression almost a week ago.
Until now, the demonstrations have been centered mainly in downtown Los Angeles near the Town Hall and a federal detention center where immigrants are held. A large part of the sprawling city has been spared from the demonstrations.
On Wednesday, the Trump administration called the newsom trial “coarse political waterfall in danger of American lives”.
The court hearing in San Francisco opened its doors with the main judge of the American district court Charles R. Breyer asking lawyers if Trump followed the law when he called the National Guard.
“We are talking about the president who exercises his authority, and the president is, of course, limited in this authority,” said Breyer. “This is the difference between a constitutional government and King George.”

Demonstrations have taken up in the United States, with emerging protests In more than a dozen major cities. Wednesday, Seattle police used peppery gas to eliminate the demonstrators, and the Denver officers used smoke and pepper balls to control a crowd.
Police in riot equipment-Many on horseback-accused a group of demonstrators on Wednesday evening in Los Angeles just before the start of the second night of the city center of the city city. The police struck demonstrators with wooden stems and then dismissed projectiles of control of the crowd, and there were a handful of arrests.

She said that the curfew would be in place again and that she hopes that continuing a few days would send the message that “we are serious”.
Noem calls action for a BluePrint
Immigration agents carrying out the raids to “prepare a model and a plan” for other communities, said Noem.
She promised that the federal authorities “do not disappear”, even if, she said, the officers were struck by rocks and bricks and attacked. She said that people with judicial lockers who find themselves in the country of illegally and violent demonstrators “would face consequences”.
“Just because you think you are here as a citizen, or because you are a member of a certain group or that you are not a citizen, that does not mean that you are going to be protected and not to face the consequences of the laws that this country represents,” she said.
Noem criticized the interruption of the California senator, the appellant “inappropriate”. A declaration by his agency said that Noem and Padilla met after the press conference for about 15 minutes, but that also reprimanded him for “disrespectful political theater”.
Padilla later said that he demanded answers on “increasingly extreme measures of the application of immigration” and only wanted to ask Noem a question. He said he had been handcuffed but not arrested.
“If this is how this administration reacts to a senator with a question, I can only imagine what they are doing to agricultural workers, cooks, workers in the Los Angeles community,” he said.

“We expect a rise in power,” said Sherman, noting that demonstrations across the country were discussed. “I am concentrated here in Los Angeles, which is happening here. But you know, I think we are, we are very worried. ”
States face questions about the deployment of troops
With more demonstrations Expected during the weekendand the possibility that Trump can send troops to other states for the application of immigration, Governors weigh what to do.
The Governor of Texas Greg Abbott, a republican, put 5,000 members of the National Guard Pending in cities where demonstrations are planned. In other states controlled by the Republican, the governors have not said when or how they plan to deploy troops for demonstrations.
