US EditionAppeals court lets Trump keep control National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles during protests
- On June 20, 2025, an appeals court ruled that President Donald Trump may maintain authority over more than 4,000 California National Guard members sent to Los Angeles.
- Governor Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit against Trump, claiming that the federal takeover of the California National Guard to address demonstrations occurred without his approval and was illegal.
- The deployment was a response to large protests over immigration enforcement, with Trump asserting that deploying troops was essential to reestablish stability amid continuing violence.

- The ruling keeps authority over the California National Guard with the federal government, maintaining an ongoing legal and constitutional debate over the president’s power to send armed forces into domestic areas.
