Trump ordered to return control of California National Guard to governor
- On June 12, 2025, a federal court ordered President Trump to relinquish command of approximately 4,000 California National Guard troops deployed in Los Angeles, returning authority to Governor Gavin Newsom.
- The order followed California's lawsuit arguing Trump improperly federalized the Guard under Title 10 without proper coordination with the governor, violating law and state sovereignty.
- Judge Charles Breyer ruled Trump's deployment exceeded statutory authority, likely violated the Tenth Amendment, and held that protests did not meet the legal standard for a rebellion.
- Breyer highlighted that Congress established the proper procedure for activating the National Guard, while the Trump administration dismissed the lawsuit as a politically motivated move that put American lives at risk.
- The restraining order took effect at noon Friday after the Ninth Circuit granted a pause, with ongoing appeals and protests intensifying in Los Angeles and spreading to other cities.
