US EditionTrump can keep National Guard deployed to Los Angeles for now, appeals court rules
CALIFORNIA, UNITED STATES, JUN 15 – The 9th Circuit ruled President Trump lawfully deployed 4,000 National Guard troops to protect federal personnel amid protests and immigration enforcement in Los Angeles, blocking a lower court order.
- On June 20, 2025, a federal appeals court decided that President Trump can maintain federal control over California’s National Guard in response to the recent demonstrations in Los Angeles.
- The ruling followed Trump's June 7 executive order federalizing 2,000 Guard members in response to violent anti-immigration protests overwhelming local authorities.
- Judges cited evidence of protesters throwing objects at federal officers and damaging buildings, and ruled the president acted lawfully under federal law, overruling a lower court judge who called the action illegal.
- Attorney General Wilson expressed pride in guiding fellow Republican attorneys general who are committed to maintaining order amid turmoil, while the National Guard's role remains limited to safeguarding federal staff and property without performing arrests or searches.
- The appeals court decision indefinitely blocks returning Guard control to Governor Newsom, signaling a continued federal presence in Los Angeles and ongoing legal challenges.
