A federal judge in California will not delay this week’s hearing in the case over the Trump administration’s deployment of the California National Guard to parts of Los Angeles amid protests over immigration enforcement just days after his order temporarily blocking the troop mobilization was stayed by an appellate court.
In a brief two-page order, U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer on Saturday rejected a request from the U.S. Department of Justice seeking to continue the briefing schedule in the case by postponing a hearing currently scheduled for Friday. The DOJ sought to have Breyer hold off on the proceedings until the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit issued a decision on the administration’s emergency motion for a stay pending appeal.
According to Breyer, pushing back the scheduled hearings would not benefit the parties to the case or the higher court.
“Delay would be counterproductive. Preliminary injunction briefing would supplement the evidentiary record in this case, providing additional detail and contemporary facts about an evolving situation,” the judge wrote. “Indeed, Plaintiffs represent that there are already changed facts relating to: ‘how National Guard troops are being deployed; how Marines are being utilized …; what the current situation is with regard to unrest on the ground; and whether state law enforcement and federal authorities can adequately address such actions.'”
