一家联邦上诉法院周二搁置了一项法院命令,该命令认定特朗普政府使用联邦军队在洛杉矶开展执法行动是非法的。
美国第九巡回上诉法院的三名法官小组发布了J查尔斯·布雷耶9月2日的决定.
上诉法院没有考虑任何一方的论据;相反,这一决定实际上停止了诉讼的进行。
布雷耶的决定——哪个被禁止的部队交战在逮捕、搜查或安全巡逻中——将于9月12日生效。虽然他的命令仅限于洛杉矶的部署,但布雷耶警告说,在大城市将国民警卫队联邦化的做法有可能产生“以总统为领导的国家警察部队”。
在周二的另一项决定中,布雷耶搁置了加利福尼亚州州长加文·纽瑟姆最近提出的阻止加利福尼亚州国民警卫队联邦化的请求。他写道,纽瑟姆诉讼案的“复杂和支离破碎的程序姿态”让他“怀疑”自己能否接受这一请求。
尽管这两项决定都没有考虑唐纳德·特朗普总统或纽瑟姆的法律论点,但双重裁决对特朗普总统来说是一个实际的胜利,因为他试图扩大他对军队的使用,以打击国内犯罪。
Appeals court pauses ruling that found use of federal troops in LA unlawful
A federal appeals court on Tuesday stayed a court order that had found the Trump administration’s use of federal troops in Los Angeles to conduct law enforcement operations to be unlawful.
A three-judge panel on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit issued an administrative appeal of Judge Charles Breyer’s Sept. 2 decision.
The appeals court did not consider the strength of either side’s arguments; instead, the decision effectively stops the clock while the lawsuit makes its way up the courts.
Breyer’s decision – whichprohibited troops from engagingin arrests, searches, or security patrols – was set to take effect on Sept. 12. While his order was confined to the Los Angeles deployment, Breyer warned that the practice of federalizing the National Guard in big cities risks creating a “national police force with the president as its chief."
In a separate decision on Tuesday, Breyer stalled a recent request from California Gov. Gavin Newsom to block the federalization of the National Guard in California. He wrote that the “complicated and fragmented procedural posture” of Newsom’s lawsuit made him “skeptical” he could take up the request.
Though neither decision considered President Donald Trump or Newsom’s legal arguments, the dual rulings are a practical win for President Trump, as he seeks to broaden his use of the military to combat crime domestically.
