Federal Judge Orders End To National Guard In DC

Federal Judge Orders End To National Guard In DC

Authored by Stuart Liess via The Epoch Times (emphasis ours),

A federal Judge has ordered a halt to the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard in Washington, following months of keeping watch in the city.

U.S. District Judge Jia Cobb ruled on Nov. 20 that the National Guard deployment, which had been there since August, was disrupting the capital’s ability to self-govern.

The lawsuit, filed by the District of Columbia, argues that the Trump administration has exceeded its authority in deploying military forces for civil matters without the city’s request and, secondly, questions their use of troops from other states.

District of Columbia Attorney General Brian Schwalb applauded the ruling as a “victory for DC, Home Rule, and American Democracy.”

“The U.S. military should not police American citizens on American soil,” he posted in a statement on X.

The court has given the Trump administration until Dec. 11 to end the deployment, allowing them time to appeal.

White House spokeswoman Abigail Jackson said, “President Trump is well within his lawful authority to deploy the National Guard in Washington, D.C., to protect federal assets and assist law enforcement with specific tasks.”

On Aug. 11, President Donald Trump signed a memorandum deploying over 2,000 National Guard troops to the nation’s Capitol, declaring a national emergency, following a series of attacks on government staffers.

In his memorandum, Trump described Washington as having “a violent crime rate that is higher than some of the most dangerous places in the world.”

US District Judge Jia Cobb

The National Guard is a reserve army unit that operates in each state and is usually under the governor’s command, generally serving during natural disasters and in military service abroad.

They have been called upon in recent years to serve more domestic roles, like assisting border control forces at the U.S. southern border or during the Black Lives Matter Riots in 2020.

What makes Washington unique is that it lies directly under the president’s jurisdiction; therefore, he has direct control over the city’s use of the National Guard, but deployment from other states usually would require each governor’s approval, unless in a state of emergency.

Trump has been targeting various cities with high crime statistics over the year, looking to send the National Guard to clean them up.

On Sept. 15, Trump signed an order with Tennessee Gov. Bill Lee to set up a task force, combining the National Guard with FBI, drug enforcement, and immigration authorities, to send to Memphis to clean up its historic levels of violent crime.

On Nov. 17, a Tennessee judge ruled that the state’s deployment of the National Guard violates the state’s military code, after Democrat Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris filed a lawsuit. Lee is currently appealing.

Support for Trump’s use of the National Guard across various cities in the United States runs along party lines, with Republicans in support and Democrats strongly against.

The Department of Justice is currently appealing a Nov. 16 district ruling that blocked the deployment of the National Guard to protect a U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) building in Portland, Oregon.

Illinois is also in strong opposition to National Guard deployment in Chicago, with an appeal over a judge’s block currently being weighed by the Supreme Court.

Darnold lanza para 244 yardas y 2 touchdowns para Seahawks que vencen 30-24 a Titans

Por TERESA M. WALKER

NASHVILLE, Tennessee, EE.UU. (AP) — Sam Darnold lanzó para 244 yardas y dos touchdowns, y los Seahawks de Seattle vencieron el domingo 30-24 a los Titans de Tennessee para su quinta victoria en seis partidos.

Darnold se recuperó con un juego limpio tras ser interceptado cuatro veces la semana pasada.

Los Seahawks (8-3) también mejoraron su marca a 5-1 como visitantes y se aseguraron de mantener el primer puesto de comodín en la lucha por los playoffs de la NFC.

Los Seahawks, empatados en el cuarto lugar con más capturas en la NFL, sumaron cuatro más contra el quarterbavk más capturado de la NFL, el novato de los Titans, Cam Ward.

Jaxon Smith-Njigba, líder de la NFL en yardas recibidas, también anotó un touchdown de 63 yardas en su primera recepción. Terminó con ocho recepciones para un máximo de la temporada de 167 yardas, con dos touchdowns. Estableció la marca de yardas recibidas de Seattle en una sola temporada en tan solo 11 partidos con 1313 yardas, superando las 1303 yardas de DK Metcalf en 2020.

Los Titans (1-10) perdieron su sexto partido consecutivo y su décimo consecutivo en casa, donde su victoria más reciente fue el 3 de noviembre de 2024.

Ward terminó con 256 yardas de pase y su primer touchdown terrestre al final del tercer cuarto.

Los Patriots remontan diez puntos y vencen 26-20 a los Bengals para extender racha a nueve triunfos

Por JOE REEDY

CINCINNATI (AP) — Drake Maye pasó para 294 yardas y un touchdown, Marcus Jones devolvió una intercepción 33 yardas para anotar y los Patriots de Nueva Inglaterra, líderes de la AFC, remontaron un déficit de diez puntos y extendieron su racha ganadora a nueve con una victoria de 26-20 sobre los Bemgals de Cincinnati el domingo.

Hunter Henry tuvo un récord personal de 115 yardas, incluyendo una atrapada de touchdown de 28 yardas, en siete recepciones, para Nueva Inglaterra (10-2), que ha ganado al menos nueve seguidos por primera vez desde 2015.

Aunque los Patriots se vieron abajo 10-0 al inicio del segundo cuarto antes de remontar. Fue su primer déficit por doble dígito desde la segunda mitad de su apertura contra Las Vegas.

El gol de campo de 52 yardas de Andy Borregales, su cuarto del día, le dio a los Patriots una ventaja de 26-20 con 1:51 restantes.

Joe Flacco llevó a Cincinnati hasta la yarda 26 de Nueva Inglaterra, pero un pase en cuarta oportunidad con 18 segundos restantes destinado a Mike Gesicki fue incompleto.

Cincinnati (3-8) ha perdido ocho de nueve desde que el quarterback Joe Burrow sufrió una lesión en el dedo del pie en una victoria de la semana dos contra Jacksonville. Burrow practicó esta semana y se espera que regrese para el juego de la noche de Acción de Gracias en Baltimore.

Ja’Marr Chase, quien llegó liderando la liga con 79 recepciones, cumplió una suspensión de un juego por escupir a Jalen Ramsey de Pittsburgh la semana pasada. Los Bengals también perdieron a Tee Higgins, quien sufrió una conmoción cerebral con 4:50 restantes.

Flacco completó 19 de 37 pases para 183 yardas con un touchdown a Mitchell Tinsley y una intercepción. Chase Brown tuvo 19 acarreos para 107 yardas.

Maye completó 22 de 35 pases, incluyendo su envío de anotación a Henry —quien tuvo su tercer juego de recepción de 100 yardas en su carrera— durante el segundo cuarto que acercó a los Patriots a 10-7.

Northwestern field hockey wins its 2nd straight NCAA championship — and 3rd in 5 years — in double OT

Tracey Fuchs was in the middle of an ESPNU postgame interview Sunday afternoon when she cut off her statement.

The camera jumped to the Northwestern field hockey coach pushing over a blue barrel of Gatorade onto the Duke field in Durham, N.C.

“Gotta be quicker, guys,” Fuchs called to her players. “Good try, Maja! I’m so proud of them. They’re not very good with the Gatorade. And we’ve got a flight to catch.”

Fuchs knew what to expect from the Wildcats’ celebration. She has been there before.

With a 2-1, double-overtime win over Princeton on Sunday, Northwestern won its second straight NCAA championship and third in five years. The Wildcats have played in the championship game every year since 2021.

Ilse Tromp scored the winner just 14 seconds into the second overtime. On a corner, Ashley Sessa sent the ball into Maddie Zimmer, who set up Tromp for the goal.

Northwestern players immediately piled onto one another to celebrate the win against the only team the Wildcats (22-1) lost to this season. Princeton (18-4) won an October meeting in Evanston 3-2. The Tigers entered Sunday on a 14-game winning streak.

“I just have all the faith in the world in this team,” Zimmer, a graduate student, said on the broadcast. “I love this team so much. This is why I decided to come back because who wouldn’t want to play with them again?

“And Ilse Tromp is honestly my personal superhero. So props to her.”

Tromp, a junior from the Netherlands, also assisted on the Wildcats’ first goal. She sent a shot toward the goal off a corner, and Kate Janssen slid to knock it in and even the score 1-1 early in the fourth quarter. It was Janssen’s second goal of the season.

Northwestern outshot Princeton 16-8 and had a 10-3 advantage on corners. Wildcats goalkeeper Juliana Boon had four saves.

The Wildcats had multiple opportunities over the first three quarters but didn’t score. Midway through the third, Northwestern had outshot Princeton 7-3 and had six corners compared with none for the Tigers, but the game was still scoreless.

Princeton scored first on Beth Yeager’s goal with 1 minute, 31 seconds to play in the third quarter.

“They gave us a really good fight,” Zimmer said. “I’m used to playing with Beth Yeager on the national team, and it’s not as much fun playing against her. She put on quite a show today. Princeton had a phenomenal season.

“But I knew once we got to overtime, OK, there’s a lot more space (in seven-on-seven). We have some of the fastest players in the country on our team, and I knew we could get it done.”

Zimmer, who had three assists in Northwestern’s 4-3, overtime victory over North Carolina, was named the Most Outstanding Player.

The national title is Northwestern’s third in a year. Along with the 2024 field hockey championship, the women’s golf team won the national title in May.

“I love this team to death,” said Fuchs, a USA Field Hockey Hall of Famer who has coached Northwestern since 2009. “They were resilient all year. We knew we had a bull’s-eye on the back for a while there. Our leadership just came through.

“When a coach, all they have to do is coach and don’t have to worry about anything else, it’s a good day. I’m so incredibly proud.”

Caleb Williams lanza 3 TDs y Bears vencen 31-28 a Steelers sin Aaron Rodgers

Por ANDREW SELIGMAN

CHICAGO (AP) — Caleb Williams lanzó para tres touchdowns, y los Bears vencieron el domingo 31-28 a los Steelers de Pittsburgh en un enfrentamiento de líderes divisionales. El viejo némesis de Chicago, Aaron Rodgers, estuvo fuera de juego por una fractura en la muñeca izquierda.

Rodgers tiene un récord de 25-5 contra los Bears durante su larga permanencia en Green Bay. Una vez se dirigió a la multitud en Soldier Field y gritó que seguía siendo dueño de Chicago. Pero el cuatro veces MVP no tuvo la oportunidad de demostrar si eso sigue siendo cierto.

Rodgers, quien cumplirá 42 años el dos de diciembre, se lesionó en el segundo cuarto de la victoria 34-12 sobre Cincinnati la semana pasada. Llevaba un soporte cuando practicó el viernes de manera limitada, pero los Steelers (6-5) optaron por Mason Rudolph en su lugar. Con la derrota están empatados por el primer lugar de la División Norte de la AFC con Baltimore.

Los Bears, líderes de la NFC Norte (8-3), ganaron por octava vez en nueve juegos. Después de remontar en los últimos dos minutos las tres semanas anteriores, esta vez mantuvieron una ventaja tardía.

Pittsburgh se acercó a tres puntos cuando Rudolph encontró a Pat Freiermuth para una anotación de tres yardas con seis minutos y medio restantes para culminar una serie de 17 jugadas. Los Steelers tenían el balón cerca del medio campo en el minuto final cuando Grady Jarrett desvió un pase en cuarta oportunidad en la línea, asegurando la victoria para Chicago.

Henry anota dos TDs y ayuda a Ravens a su quinta victoria consecutiva por 23-10 sobre Jets

Por NOAH TRISTER

BALTIMORE (AP) — Derrick Henry anotó dos touchdowns en el tercer cuarto y los Ravens de Baltimore se recuperaron de una primera mitad somnolienta para vencer el domingo 23-10 a los Jets de Nueva York logrando su quinta victoria consecutiva.

Baltimore ha pasado de 1-5 a 6-5, pero esta no fue una actuación particularmente convincente. Lamar Jackson completó 13 de 23 pases para 153 yardas y no se mostró tan móvil como de costumbre después de lidiar recientemente con problemas de rodilla y tobillo. Henry fue limitado a 64 yardas en 21 acarreos.

Los Jets (2-9) lideraban 7-3 al descanso, su primera ventaja después de dos cuartos desde el partido inaugural de la temporada contra Pittsburgh.

La derrota aseguró la décima temporada consecutiva perdedora de los Jets.

Tyrod Taylor, de 36 años, haciendo apenas su 17ª apertura en las últimas ocho temporadas, lanzó para 222 yardas con un touchdown y una intercepción tardía contra el equipo que lo seleccionó en la sexta ronda del draft de 2011.

Baltimore logró solo dos primeros intentos en sus tres primeras posesiones. El pase de touchdown de 13 yardas de Taylor a John Metchie III le dio a los Jets una ventaja de 7-0 en el segundo cuarto.

Emanuel Wilson corre 107 yardas y anota 2 TDs en la victoria de Packers 23-6 sobre Vikings

Por STEVE MEGARGEE

GREEN BAY, Wisconsin, EE.UU. (AP) — Emanuel Wilson corrió para un récord personal de 107 yardas y dos touchdowns en su primer juego como titular en su carrera y los Packers de Green Bay derrotaron el domingo 23-6 a los Vikings de Minnesota.

Micah Parsons y Devonte Wyatt de Green Bay lograron dos capturas cada uno. Los Vikings totalizaron cuatro yardas netas y tres pérdidas de balón en la segunda mitad.

Wilson tuvo dos carreras de touchdown de una yarda en lugar de Josh Jacobs, quien no estuvo disponible debido a una contusión en la rodilla izquierda. Este fue el primer juego de dos touchdowns en la carrera del jugador que llegó como agente libre no reclutado de 2023 de Fort Valley State.

Sus 28 acarreos y 107 yardas por tierra representaron los totales más altos en un solo juego por cualquier corredor de los Packers esta temporada.

Green Bay (7-3-1) mejoró a 2-0 en juegos divisionales después de ir 1-5 contra rivales de la División Norte de la NFC la temporada pasada. Con este duelo inicia una serie de tres enfrentamientos divisionales consecutivos para los Packers, que visitan a Detroit el jueves y reciben a los Bears de Chicago el siete de diciembre.

Many hoped UN climate talks in Brazil would be historic. They may be remembered as a flop.

This year’s U.N. climate conference in Brazil had many unique aspects that could have been part of an historic outcome.

COP30, as it’s called, was hosted in Belem, a city on the edge of the Amazon rainforest, a crucial regulator of climate and home to many Indigenous peoples who are both hit hard by climate change and are part of the solution. It had the heft of Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, an influential and charismatic leader on the international stage known for his ability to bring people together. And encouraged by Lula’s rousing speeches in the summit’s beginning days, more than 80 nations called for a detailed road map for the world to sharply reduce the use of gas, oil and coal, the main drivers of climate change.

In the end, none of that mattered.

The final decision announced Saturday, which included some tangible things like an increase in money to help developing nations adapt to climate change, was overall watered-down compared to many conferences in the past decade and fell far short of many delegates’ expectations. It didn’t mention the words “fossil fuels,” much less include a timeline to reduce their use.

Instead of being remembered as historic, the conference will likely further erode confidence in a process that many environmentalists and even some world leaders have argued isn’t up to the challenge of confronting global temperature rise, which is leading to more frequent and intense extreme weather events like floods, storms and heat waves.

The criticism was withering and came from many corners.

“A climate decision that cannot even say ‘fossil fuels’ is not neutrality, it is complicity,” said Panama negotiator Juan Carlos Monterrey Gomez. “Science has been deleted from COP30 because it offends the polluters.”

Even those who saw some positives were quick to say they were looking toward the future.

“Climate action is across many areas, so on the whole it is a mixed bag. They could have done much, much more,” said Lidy Nacpil, coordinator of the Asian Peoples’ Movement on Debt and Development.

“All eyes are already turning to COP31,” added Nacpil, referring to next year’s conference, which will be held in Turkey.

High expectations for COP30

Saturday’s final resolution was the culmination of three years of talk, from measured optimism to hoopla, about a Conference of the Parties, as the summit is known, that could restore confidence in the ability of multilateral negotiations to tackle climate change. It was even called a “COP of truth.”

From the time Lula was reelected in October 2022, he began pitching his vision of hosting a climate summit for the first time in the Amazon. By 2023, the U.N. had confirmed Brazil’s bid to host it in Belem. The choice of Belem, a coastal city in northeast Brazil, raised many questions, both in Brazil and in many countries, because Belem doesn’t have the infrastructure of other Brazilian cities such as Rio de Janeiro or Sao Paulo.

For Lula, that was the point: This was a chance for the world to get a taste of the Amazon, truly understand what was at stake, and a chance for thousands of Indigenous peoples, who live across the vast territory shared by many South American nations, to participate.

By the time the conference began Nov. 6 with two days of world leaders’ speeches, Lula was able to change the subject from Belem, in large part by laying out a vision of what the conference could be.

“Earth can no longer sustain the development model based on the intensive use of fossil fuels that has prevailed over the past 200 years,” Lula said Nov. 7, adding: “The fossil fuel era is drawing to a close.”

Words like those, coming from the leader who has both curbed deforestation in the Amazon and unabashedly supported oil exploration in it, raised hopes among many delegates, scientists and activists. Here was Lula, the ultimate pragmatist from a major oil-producing country, which gets most of its energy for domestic uses from renewables like hydropower, pushing a major change.

Previous naming of fossil fuels

In late 2023, during COP28 in Dubai, the final resolution declared the world needed to “transition away” from fossil fuels. The past two years, though, nothing had been done to advance that. Indeed, instead of phasing away, greenhouse gas emissions worldwide continue to rise.

Now at COP30, there was talk of a “road map” to fundamentally changing world energy systems.

A few days before the talks concluded, there were signs that even Lula, arguably Brazil’s most dominating political figure of the past 25 years, was tempering his expectations. In a speech Wednesday night, he made the case that climate change was an urgent threat that all people needed to pay attention to. But he was also careful to say that nations should be able to transition to renewable energies at their own pace, in line with their own capacities, and there was no intention to “impose anything on anybody.”

Negotiators would lose much of Thursday, as a fire at the venue forced evacuations.

An outcome that many nations blasted

By Friday, the European Union, along with several Latin American and Pacific Island nations and others, were flatly rejecting the first draft of a resolution that didn’t identify fossil fuels as the cause of climate change or have any timeline to move away from them.

“After 10 years, this process is still failing,” Maina Vakafua Talia, minister of environment for the small Pacific island nation of Tuvalu, said in a speech Friday, talking about the decade since the 2015 Paris Agreement, which set international goals to limit temperature rise.

After an all-nighter from Friday into Saturday, the revised resolution, which U.N. officials called the “final,” did not include a mention of fossil fuels. Environmental activists decried the influence of major oil producing countries like Saudi Arabia, which historically have fought against proposals that put a timeline on reducing oil.

When delegates met Saturday afternoon for the final plenary, COP30 President André Corrêa do Lago gaveled in the text while also promising to continue the discussion of fossil fuels and work with Colombia on a road map that could be shared with other countries. Technically, Brazil holds the presidency of the climate talks until the summit in Turkey next year.

That was little consolation for several dozen nations that complained, including some, such as Colombia, that flatly rejected the outcome.

“Thank you for your statement,” do Lago would say after each one. “It will be noted in the report.”

NFC North roundup: Detroit Lions win in overtime while the Green Bay Packers pound the Minnesota Vikings 23-6

Jahmyr Gibbs ran for a 69-yard touchdown on the first snap of overtime after Jake Bates matched a career high with a 59-yard field goal in the final minute of regulation, lifting the Detroit Lions to a 34-27 win over the New York Giants on Sunday.

New York had a chance to extend the game, but turned it over on downs at the Detroit 31 when Aidan Hutchinson sacked Jameis Winston.

The Lions (7-4) entered the game out of the playoff picture, trailed by double digits multiple times and rallied to avoid losing consecutive games for the first time in more than three years.

They wouldn’t have pulled it off without Gibbs, who had a career-high 264 yards from scrimmage and three scores.

The dual-threat running back had a career-high 219 yards rushing — the third-highest total in team history — and two touchdowns along with 45 yards receiving and another score.

Filling in for injured rookie Jaxson Dart, Winston had a 33-yard touchdown reception and threw a 39-yard touchdown pass on trick plays in regulation.

The Giants (2-10) lost their sixth straight game and fifth this season after leading in the fourth quarter.

In his second game as New York’s interim coach, Mike Kafka made a risky decision late that ended up working in Detroit’s favor.

With the Giants leading 27-24, Devin Singletary was stopped for a 4-yard loss on third-and-goal from the 2. Instead of kicking a short field goal, Kafka went for it, and Winston’s pass to Theo Johnson was incomplete, ending a 14-play, 86-yard drive with no points.

Detroit took advantage. Bates connected on his long field goal with 28 seconds left, giving Jared Goff another opportunity to put the ball in Gibbs’ hands.

Goff was 28 of 42 for 279 yards with two touchdowns: an 11-yard touchdown pass to Amon-Ra St. Brown and a 3-yard pass to Gibbs in the first half. He had a deflected pass picked off.

St. Brown had nine catches for 149 yards.

Making his second start for the Giants, Winston was 18 of 36 for 366 yards — becoming the first to throw for at least 300 yards against Detroit this season — with two touchdowns and an interception.

Wan’Dale Robinson set career highs with nine receptions for 156 yards and had a 12-yard touchdown in the second quarter that gave the Giants one of their three 10-point leads.

The Giants have lost an NFL-high five games after leading in the fourth. Last month at Denver, they became the first team since at least 1970 to lead by 18-plus points with six minutes remaining and lose in regulation.

The Lions host the Green Bay Packers at noon on Thursday for their traditional Thanksgiving Day game.

Emanuel Wilson rushed for a career-high 107 yards and two touchdowns in his first career start and the Green Bay Packers defeated the Minnesota Vikings 23-6 on Sunday.

Green Bay’s Micah Parsons and Devonte Wyatt each had two sacks. The Vikings totaled 4 net yards and three turnovers in the second half.

Wilson had two 1-yard touchdown runs while filling in for Josh Jacobs, who was unavailable because of a bruised left knee. This was the first career two-touchdown game for the 2023 undrafted free agent from Fort Valley State.

His 28 carries and 107 yards rushing represented the highest single-game totals by any Packers running back this season.

Green Bay (7-3-1) improved to 2-0 in divisional games after going 1-5 against NFC North foes last season. This started a stretch of three straight divisional matchups for the Packers, who visit Detroit on Thursday and host the Chicago Bears on Dec. 7.

The Vikings (4-7) were attempting to beat the Packers on the road for a third straight season, something they last accomplished in 1991-93. They instead fell for the fifth time in their past six games.

Minnesota’s J.J. McCarthy continued his struggles as a first-year starter by going 12 of 19 for 87 yards. Minnesota’s final two series ended with McCarthy throwing interceptions to Isaiah McDuffie and Evan Williams.

The Vikings trailed 10-6 but stopped Green Bay on the opening drive of the second half when a special teams turnover helped the Packers break the game open.

Daniel Whelan’s punt bounced inside the 10-yard line and then hit the body of Minnesota’s Myles Price, who was blocking a Green Bay player at the time. Zayne Anderson recovered at the Minnesota 5 to give Green Bay first-and-goal, and Wilson scored two plays later.

Minnesota spent the first half relying on running backs Jordan Mason and Aaron Jones to lead a ball-control attack that took the pressure off McCarthy. Once Green Bay opened up a two-score lead, the Vikings needed to rely more on McCarthy but couldn’t handle the Packers’ pass rush.

McCarthy was sacked five times, with four of them coming in the second half.

The Vikings’ only points came on a pair of Will Reichard field goals from 52 and 59 yards. Reichard became the first player in NFL history to have four field goals of at least 59 yards in one season.

Reichard’s first field goal capped the game’s first series with a 52-yard field goal. Green Bay answered with a 70-yard touchdown drive on its opening possession.

Minnesota wasted a golden opportunity in the second quarter when it had third-and-1 on the Green Bay 17. Tight end TJ Hockenson took a direct snap on third down and got stopped, then Kingsley Enagbare stuffed Mason on fourth down.

The two teams then traded field goals later in the second period, with Green Bay’s Brandon McManus making a 32-yarder before Reichard delivered from 59 yards with 10 seconds left in the half.

McManus added a 30-yarder and a 40-yarder in the fourth quarter.
