Appeals court lets Trump keep control National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles during protests
- On Thursday evening, an appeals court decided that President Donald Trump may continue to command the California National Guard forces he sent to Los Angeles amid immigration-related protests.
- This followed Governor Gavin Newsom's lawsuit arguing Trump unlawfully federalized the Guard without state consent, a move Newsom said inflamed tensions and usurped local authority.
- The court overruled a lower judge’s restraining order that had returned Guard control to Newsom, stating the president likely lawfully exercised his authority and Newsom cannot veto the federalization.
- More than 4,000 troops were sent to Los Angeles to respond to protests, with Trump contending the deployment was necessary to restore order amid ongoing violence.
- The ruling keeps Guard control federally vested as the legal dispute continues, highlighting broader constitutional questions about presidential authority within U.S. borders.
