Appeals court lets Trump keep control National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles during protests
- On Thursday, an appeals court ruled that President Trump may maintain authority over the California National Guard forces he activated in response to protests in Los Angeles.
- The deployment was federalized earlier this month without Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom’s consent, prompting Newsom to sue Trump for unlawfully taking control.
- More than 4,000 troops were deployed in response to protests against immigration enforcement, with Trump asserting their presence was essential to maintain order, while Newsom criticized the deployment for escalating conflicts and overriding state authority.
- The court stated it is likely the President lawfully exercised his authority despite the governor’s objections and blocked a lower court ruling that found Trump acted illegally by activating the Guard.
- This ruling preserves federal authority over the National Guard amid ongoing legal challenges and may influence the extent of presidential power in sending military personnel into states.
