U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer blocked President Donald Trump‘s use of the California National Guard for a third time on Wednesday, despite an appeals court halting Breyer’s two previous orders stopping the deployment of troops to Los Angeles.

Breyer granted a request by California officials to declare Trump’s federalization and deployment of National Guard troops unlawful, citing extensions after the initial deployment of troops to Los Angeles following unrest in June and the administration’s subsequent deployment of some federalized California troops to Portland and Chicago. Breyer paused the effect of his order until Dec. 15, allowing for the Justice Department to appeal the ruling to a federal appeals court in the meantime.
