Trump's LA Troop Deployment Violated Federal Law, Judge Rules
Source: Bloomberg News
A US judge ruled President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops to Los Angeles during protests against his immigration crackdown violated federal law.
US District Judge Charles Breyer on Tuesday issued an order barring barring the use of troops deployed in California and any other military troops in the state “to execute the laws.” But he paused his ruling pending further legal action.
“There were indeed protests in Los Angeles, and some individuals engaged in violence,” Breyer wrote. “Yet there was no rebellion, nor was civilian law enforcement unable to respond to the protests and enforce the law.”

They did a rare "scoop" over the regular "scoop" sites like CNBC! 
More of the major sites have it now - AP, CNN, Reuters, CBS. 
I opened a link to the local paper last week,
If you use Google, you can find it in the Google drop down menu.
Thank you for providing links to news stories.
and sometimes Yahoo! News or other outlets like Aol might also republish them (i.e., the news aggregators).
Firefox has what they call a "Reader Mode" (with a little "paper" icon at the end of the URL line) that will often let you read the articles, but stripped of their style sheets.
BREAKING: Judge Breyer rules that President Trump's deployment of the military to Los Angeles violated the Posse Comitatus Act, says Trump is using military as a "national police force with the president as its chief."

Injunction granted.

(although I don't think that 9th Circuit decision was an en banc ruling)
The stay of this ruling is until next week for L.A.
The D.C. deployment is a different animal that they have been trying to use to obfuscate what is "lawful" OUTSIDE OF that special circumstance, and justify going to other cities. 
so, now Trump can continue to do what he wants to do!!
So, I guess the House will file impeachment charges, followed by a swift trial and conviction in the Senate.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer issued the order prohibiting troops.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer issued an order prohibiting troops from engaging in security patrols, riot control, arrests, searches and crowd control. The order does not take effect until Sept. 12 to allow the Trump administration to appeal.
Breyer said the use of federal troops effectively created a "national police force with the president as its chief" and violated the Posse Comitatus Act.
"The evidence at trial established that Defendants systematically used 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. In short, Defendants violated the Posse Comitatus Act," Breyer wrote.....
Breyer issued his decision after holding a three-day trial last month featuring testimony from military leadership about the ongoing operations in the Los Angeles area.
