US EditionTrump can keep National Guard deployed to Los Angeles for now, appeals court rules
- On June 12, 2025, the federal appeals court for the Ninth Circuit issued a temporary stay on Judge Breyer's directive that required President Trump to relinquish command of the California National Guard back to Governor Newsom.
- On June 7, Trump ordered more than two thousand members of the National Guard to be stationed in Los Angeles in response to immigration-related protests and enforcement actions, a move that Judge Breyer found to exceed legal authority and infringe upon the powers reserved to the state under the Tenth Amendment.
- Breyer found no armed rebellion justifying federalization and said Trump's actions threaten constitutional federal-state power balance, while Newsom filed a lawsuit to limit troop use to guarding federal buildings.
- Newsom praised Breyer's ruling as "a test of democracy," while the administration called the lawsuit a "crass political stunt" endangering lives; a new hearing is set for June 17 to decide the ruling's effect.
- The outcome of the appeal will influence the President's power to assume control of state National Guard units amid civil unrest and the continued deployment of troops during heightened immigration enforcement operations in Los Angeles.
