A federal judge ruled today that the Trump# administration's deployment of thousands of## National Guard troops to Los Angeles in June was# illegal.
U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer found## that the administration -- quote -- "willfully# violated the law," adding that the government knew## -- quote -- "They were ordering troops to execute# domestic law beyond their usual authority."
The White House has signaled that# it will appeal.
The ruling comes as## President Trump told reporters that# he plans to send forces to Chicago,## saying -- quote -- "We're going# in," but provided no timeline.
Trump said Illinois' governor# should call him to ask for help.
DONALD TRUMP, President of the United States:# If the governor of Illinois would call up,## call me up, I would love to do it.# Now, we're going to do it anyway.
We## have the right to do it because I have# an obligation to protect this country.
AMNA NAWAZ: Governor Pritzker immediately# fired back, saying Chicago does not need## federal troops and bristling at the# idea of calling the president for help.
GOV.
J.B. PRITZKER (D-IL): When did# we become a country where it's OK for## the U.S. president to insist on# national television that a state## should call him to beg for anything,# especially something we don't want?## Have we truly lost all sense of sanity in# this nation that we treat this as normal?
AMNA NAWAZ: President Trump has pointed to# gun violence over the weekend in Chicago## as a rationale for why the city needs federal# assistance.
Governor Pritzker said today that the## president would look for -- quote -- "any excuse"# to put active-duty military on Chicago's streets.
The president's comments about sending troops to# Chicago came during an event where he announced## the relocation of U.S. Space Command.
It's moving# its temporary home in Colorado Springs to a new## one in Huntsville, Alabama.
The announcement# reverses the decision by former President Joe## Biden to keep it in Colorado and ends a four-year# battle between the two states over its location.
Huntsville is already home to NASA's Marshall## Space Flight Center and the Army's# Space and Missile Defense Command.
In Afghanistan, the death toll from Sunday night's# earthquake has risen to more than 1,400 people.## At least 3,000 more were injured in the 6.0# magnitude quake.
U.N. officials warned that## those numbers could rise.
Authorities are# using helicopters to evacuate the wounded,## but rough terrain makes# many victims hard to reach.
In rural villages, many were crushed# where they slept, as homes made of mud,## brick and wood collapsed.
Survivors say# they have now been forced to sleep outside.
ABDUL BASIR, Earthquake Survivor (through# translator): Suddenly, there was an earthquake## and people were screaming.
When we came out,# we saw that my brother.. My brother's three children were buried# under the rubble.
Now we are very scared.
AMNA NAWAZ: This is the third major# earthquake since the Taliban took## power in 2021.
Authorities have asked the# international community for assistance.
In Sudan, an entire village in Darfur is# gone after a landslide devastated the region,## killing as many as 1,000 people.
It happened# after days of heavy rainfall Central Darfur's## remote Marrah Mountains.
Photos of the rocky# aftermath showed where the village once stood.## The Sudan Liberation Movement Army that controls# the area says only a single villager survived.
Sudan is already suffering from a humanitarian# crisis following two years of Civil War,## with famine conditions in# parts of the Darfur region.## U.N. officials say they're mobilizing to provide# support to those affected by the landslide.
In the Middle East, Israel is mobilizing# tens of thousands of reservists as part## of its expanded military offensive in Gaza# City.
Newly released footage by the Israel## Defense Forces shows army tanks being# prepared.
Some 40,000 reservists were## due to report for duty today.
That's# according to Israeli army radio.
In the meantime, Gaza health officials# say Israeli strikes today killed at least## 47 people across the territory.# Israel also repeated evacuation## warnings to Palestinians in Gaza City,# but residents say there's nowhere to go.
MUSAB SHBAT, Gaza City Resident (through# translator): We ask for the war to stop.## We have reached a point where death is# better than displacement.
We will die## in turn.
I think we are moving dead bodies.
We# are dead already, just waiting for our turns.
AMNA NAWAZ: Also today, the Hamas-run# Gaza Health Ministry said that 185## people died of malnutrition in August.# That's the highest total in months.
Back here at home, a federal judge ordered# Google to share its search results and some## data with its rivals.
The ruling is part of# a landmark antitrust case aimed at addressing## accusations that Google acts as a monopoly.# Judge Amit Mehta also put restrictions on## payments that Google uses to ensure its# search engine is the default option on## smartphones and other devices, but he stopped# short of banning those payments outright.
And Google won't have to sell off its popular# Chrome browser.
The move to cut into Google's## operation is expected to ripple across the# tech industry and the company plans to appeal.
American "Vogue" has a new editor# for the first time in 37 years,## though, fashion legend Anna Wintour will# still be calling many of the shots.
Chloe## Malle will be head of editorial content,# overseeing day-to-day operations at the## famed magazine.
She's worked at "Vogue" since# 2011, most recently as the editor of Vogue.com.
Malle will report directly to Wintour,## who no longer holds the editor in chief title.# But as chief content officer at Conde Nast,## Wintour will still oversee more than two# dozen brands, as well as the annual Met Gala.
On Wall Street today, stocks ended lower# following the long holiday weekend.
The## Dow Jones industrial average dropped nearly 250# points.
The Nasdaq also fell around 250 points,## as tech stocks cooled after recent gains.# The S&P 500 posted its worst loss in a month.
And actor Graham Greene has died.
GRAHAM GREENE, Actor: We# have come far, you and me.
KEVIN COSTNER, Actor: I will not forget you.
AMNA NAWAZ: Greene is perhaps best known for# his role as Kicking Bird opposite Kevin Costner## in the 1990 epic "Dances With Wolves,"# which earned him an Oscar nomination.## As a member of the Oneida First Nation himself,## Greene played many other indigenous roles in# films like "Maverick" and "The Greene Mile."
Over his nearly five-decade career, Greene racked# up nearly 200 film and TV credits.
Along the way,## he broke barriers for other Native# actors and often advocated for## their greater representation in the# arts.
Graham Greene was 73 years old.
Still to come on the "News Hour": advice# on accessing COVID vaccines after the CDC## changed its recommendations; a look at# the career of former FOX host turned## U.S. attorney Jeanine Pirro; and# Lebanon works to disarm Hezbollah.
