Trump can keep National Guard deployed to Los Angeles for now, appeals court rules
- A federal appeals court ruled late Thursday that President Trump can maintain authority over National Guard troops stationed in Los Angeles.
- This ruling followed Judge Breyer's earlier order that deemed the troop deployment illegal and exceeded presidential authority under the Tenth Amendment.
- The operation deployed thousands of National Guard members along with several hundred Marines to suppress protests against immigration raids, prompting California to file a lawsuit against the Trump administration.
- Governor Newsom stated that the day served as an important measure of democratic principles and noted that they had successfully upheld them, while Breyer cautioned that the deployment posed a risk to the constitutional division of authority between federal and state governments.
- The appeals court ruling establishes a significant legal benchmark regarding the president's control over state National Guard forces during periods of civil unrest and indicates that similar federal interventions could occur across the country.
