Breyer initially issued a temporary restraining order that directed Trump to \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/12043920/judge-weighs-californias-lawsuit-over-trumps-troop-deployment-in-la\">hand back control\u003c/a> of the California National Guard troops to Newsom.[aside postID=news_12045579 hero='https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2025/06/gettyimages-2219185144-2000x1334.jpeg']But the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals blocked Breyer’s TRO within hours of his ruling, and a week later ruled that Trump “likely” acted within his authority when he invoked a rarely used legal provision that allows a president to deploy federal service members if “there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the Government of the United States.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Breyer is now considering whether to issue a separate preliminary injunction based on questions not addressed in the appeals court ruling, including whether the deployment violates the Posse Comitatus Act, a 147-year-old law that bars using the military against civilians.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The White House argued in court filings this week that since the appeals court approved Trump’s authority to call up the troops, he is allowed to decide how to use them. But in his order, Breyer wrote that those claims are premature, and noted that the administration’s reading ignores the key differences between the statute Trump used to federalize the National Guard and the Posse Comitatus Act.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“A second reason why Defendants’ argument is premature is that its success may hinge on evidence that would be gathered in the very discovery that Plaintiffs seek,” Breyer wrote. “Plaintiffs’ Posse Comitatus Act claim might remain viable if they can present evidence that Defendants are using the federalized National Guard members to enforce state law or federal law unrelated to ‘those laws’ that justified federalizing the National Guard in the first place.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n",

It’s become personal, and we will take this as far as we need to take it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corzo said she looks forward to the day when all the information available to supervisors is made public, including transcripts from Corpus’ Skelly hearing, a routine, pre-disciplinary process for public employees in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That pre-removal conference was held behind closed doors, and the report from the county’s Chief Probation Officer John Keene has been kept confidential at Corpus’ request, according to the county. In it, \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/ceo/news/san-mateo-county-supervisors-accept-recommendation-remove-sheriff-christina-corpus-office\">he stated\u003c/a> that he found Corpus “violated the for-cause provisions” and that her removal was warranted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Cordell’s extensive report, the county also relied on an investigation prepared by the law firm Keker, Van Nest & Peters, which used 524 pages of documentary evidence and 42 witness interviews. That report concluded that Corpus violated the law “related to the performance of the sheriff’s duties … flagrant and repeated neglect of the sheriff’s duties … and obstruction of an investigation into the conduct of the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We stand firm in knowing that this process is one that will do right by the community and is the right thing to do,” Corzo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s vote on Tuesday brings San Mateo County into entirely uncharted territory, as no other charter county board has successfully voted to remove its sheriff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County voters gave supervisors the authority to remove then-Sheriff Alex Villanueva in 2022, but the board didn’t need to use it as he lost re-election to a primary challenger. San Francisco’s board brought then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi to a vote of potential removal in 2012, but not enough supervisors voted to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County Attorney John D. Nibbelin said the county would officially notify Corpus of the board’s vote via email. She then has five calendar days to file a notice of appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county, then, is obligated to offer her the option to pick one of “three neutral hearing officers with experience in public safety officer disciplinary matters” to oversee a formal removal hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Corpus chooses her preferred officer to oversee her hearing, it could occur in private, if Corpus chooses to, within 30 to 60 calendar days after the officer has been notified. After that hearing is concluded, the hearing officer would have 45 days to submit a written advisory opinion to the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thereafter, the board would have 30 days to act on that advisory opinion,” Nibbelin said, reiterating that Tuesday’s vote “would constitute a final decision of this board to remove the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad floatright]\u003c/p>\n",

He said Supervisors Noelia Corzo and Ray Mueller, two former Corpus supporters who later championed the push to remove her, should have recused themselves from the vote because of “statements they have made.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Sheriff Corpus is not resigning. She hasn’t run and hid from you. She’s not going anywhere,” Mazzucco said. “She will exhaust all her administrative remedies and then all her judicial remedies. This is political. It’s not practical. It’s become personal, and we will take this as far as we need to take it.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Corzo said she looks forward to the day when all the information available to supervisors is made public, including transcripts from Corpus’ Skelly hearing, a routine, pre-disciplinary process for public employees in California.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That pre-removal conference was held behind closed doors, and the report from the county’s Chief Probation Officer John Keene has been kept confidential at Corpus’ request, according to the county. In it, \u003ca href=\"https://www.smcgov.org/ceo/news/san-mateo-county-supervisors-accept-recommendation-remove-sheriff-christina-corpus-office\">he stated\u003c/a> that he found Corpus “violated the for-cause provisions” and that her removal was warranted.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Besides Cordell’s extensive report, the county also relied on an investigation prepared by the law firm Keker, Van Nest & Peters, which used 524 pages of documentary evidence and 42 witness interviews. That report concluded that Corpus violated the law “related to the performance of the sheriff’s duties … flagrant and repeated neglect of the sheriff’s duties … and obstruction of an investigation into the conduct of the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We stand firm in knowing that this process is one that will do right by the community and is the right thing to do,” Corzo said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The board’s vote on Tuesday brings San Mateo County into entirely uncharted territory, as no other charter county board has successfully voted to remove its sheriff.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Los Angeles County voters gave supervisors the authority to remove then-Sheriff Alex Villanueva in 2022, but the board didn’t need to use it as he lost re-election to a primary challenger. San Francisco’s board brought then-Sheriff Ross Mirkarimi to a vote of potential removal in 2012, but not enough supervisors voted to do so.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>County Attorney John D. Nibbelin said the county would officially notify Corpus of the board’s vote via email. She then has five calendar days to file a notice of appeal.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The county, then, is obligated to offer her the option to pick one of “three neutral hearing officers with experience in public safety officer disciplinary matters” to oversee a formal removal hearing.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Once Corpus chooses her preferred officer to oversee her hearing, it could occur in private, if Corpus chooses to, within 30 to 60 calendar days after the officer has been notified. After that hearing is concluded, the hearing officer would have 45 days to submit a written advisory opinion to the board.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Thereafter, the board would have 30 days to act on that advisory opinion,” Nibbelin said, reiterating that Tuesday’s vote “would constitute a final decision of this board to remove the sheriff.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",
