WASHINGTON (Reuters) -A U.S. judge on Thursday temporarily barred President Donald Trump from deploying National Guard troops in Los Angeles.

Judge Charles Breyer ordered the National Guard to return to the control of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who sued to restrict its activity. Breyer's order will take effect at noon on Friday.
