Trump’s use of National Guard in Los Angeles was illegal, judge rules

A federal judge in California has ruled that the way President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to Los Angeles this summer was illegal. The ruling comes as Trump seeks to use National Guard troops in order to crack down on crime in other US cities and support immigration enforcement.

North Rhine-Westphalia has a population of 18 million and a reported 20,000 candidates will run for office in its 14 September local elections. The number of deaths has nevertheless raised questions on social media. The state's interior ministry has pointed out that candidates from other parties, including the Greens and Social Democrats, have also died. The AfD became Germany's second biggest party in February's federal elections, spreading f...
