Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom sued, saying the President's move violated federal law -- and he requested that the courts order the president to return control of the troops to the state.

An 1878 law, known as the Posse Comitatus Act, prevents the president from using the military as a domestic police force.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer is presiding over the case. Since it is a bench trial, there is no jury and he alone will make the ruling. Breyer is the brother of retired Supreme Court Justice Steven Breyer.

On Monday and Tuesday, state and federal lawyers presented evidence and questioned witnesses, including a two-star Army general and a top Immigrations and Customs Enforcement official.

About 250 national guard troops still remain in the LA area.
