A federal judge said Tuesday he will not immediately consider California’s request to bar the use of National Guard soldiers as deployed by the Trump administration in Los Angeles.

Last week, Senior District Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco ruled that President Trump’s deployment of troops was unlawful and said the White House was “ordering troops to execute domestic law beyond their usual authority,” according to The Associated Press. 

In June, the president sent hundreds of soldiers and Marines to quell protests against his immigration agenda and mass deportation efforts in the L.A. area.

Trump issued an Aug. 5 order seeking to extend the deployment of 300 National Guardsmen in the city until November. 

Californian leaders attempted to block the measure through a preliminary injunction in court; however, Breyer urged them to file the request with the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, which has put the order on hold for now.

The 9th Circuit is currently considering the legality of his Sept. 2 ruling condemning the Trump administration’s use of “armed soldiers ( whose identity was often obscured by protective armor) and military vehicles to set up protective perimeters and traffic blockades, engage in crowd control, and otherwise demonstrate a military presence in and around Los Angeles,” AP reported. 

Breyer did not order the White House to remove the 300 soldiers based in L.A., but he did require them to stop using guardsmen “to execute the laws.” 

State officials have also raised concerns with a military presence during voting on Nov. 4.
