An appeals court has temporarily restored Donald Trump's control over California's National Guard just hours after a federal judge ruled his deployment for Los Angeles protests was illegal. The 9th Circuit's decision allows Trump to use the Guard in response to immigration protests until a hearing is held. The initial ruling cited violations of the Tenth Amendment and statutory authority, creating a legal tussle that puts Trump at odds with California Governor Gavin Newsom and raises concerns over the abuse of power.
"The 9th US Circuit court of appeals order means Trump retains command of the guards for now and can continue to use them to respond to protests against his immigration crackdown."
"Both violated the 10th amendment and exceeded Trump's statutory authority. The order applied only to the National Guard troops and not Marines who were also deployed to the LA protests."
