A three-judge panel from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Donald Trump can retain control of California National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles amid recent anti-ICE protests. The panel stated Trump likely acted “within his authority in federalizing the National Guard,” and ruled that Governor Gavin Newsom had no veto power over the deployment—even without prior notification.
The decision overrides U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer’s earlier ruling that deemed the deployment illegal, citing the absence of a “rebellion or danger of a rebellion.” The appeals court stayed Breyer’s decision within hours of its issuance.
Trump sent the Guard in response to violent protests opposing U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement raids. While tensions eased after Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass imposed a citywide curfew, the curfew has since been lifted.
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth followed up with the deployment of an additional 2,000 National Guard troops to reinforce the city’s response.
