US EditionAppeals court lets Trump keep control National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles during protests
CALIFORNIA, JUN 20 – The Ninth Circuit ruled Trump can keep control of 4,000 California National Guard troops amid protests over immigration enforcement despite ongoing legal challenges from Governor Newsom.
- A federal appeals court has maintained its pause on a lower court's decision, permitting President Trump to remain in command of California's National Guard forces sent to Los Angeles amid immigration-related protests.
- The case originated when Governor Gavin Newsom filed a lawsuit against Trump, alleging that the president deployed the National Guard to manage protests in Los Angeles without obtaining the governor’s approval, leading to a constitutional challenge.
- During a remote appeals hearing, the court heard arguments that guarding federal buildings was necessary amid violence, while California's side warned federalization escalated tensions and diverted guardsmen from state duties.
- The court concluded that Trump likely lawfully exercised his authority, noting presidents have wide latitude, and stated that even if notification to the governor failed, Newsom could not veto the federalization.
- The ruling maintains federal control over the National Guard while the lawsuit proceeds, extending the ongoing dispute about the president's power to send military personnel into states without their consent.

Letter: Trump and his enablers thrive on chaos and domination. Civilization depends on resisting their brutality and lawlessness.
The man who attempted a coup in 2020 and incited a deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol now claims there’s an “uprising” in Los Angeles. There isn’t. What we’re witnessing is another manufactured crisis — one designed to justify an unnecessary show of military force for the sake of optics, not safety.
