A federal judge swiftly denied California Governor Gavin Newsom’s request to invoke an emergency intervention to immediately pull back President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles.

Newsom’s request follows after President Donald Trump federalized the state’s National Guard, sending in 4,000 members along with 700 Marines in an effort to tame the ongoing Los Angeles riots and lootings.

The case was assigned to U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, an appointee of former President Bill Clinton. Newsom requested the judge to issue an order prohibiting the National Guard from engaging in any law enforcement activities outside of directly protecting federal property.

Newsom requested the emergency ruling by 1 p.m. on Tuesday — with the judge quickly shooting down the request.
