Court Ruling: Trump Retains Control of California National Guard
A U.S. appeals court has permitted former President Donald Trump to maintain control over California's National Guard amid legal action by Governor Gavin Newsom. This situation arose from Trump's deployment of the National Guard to address protests and unrest in Los Angeles, which Newsom claims was unlawful.

In a significant legal development, a U.S. appeals court ruled to allow former President Donald Trump to continue controlling California's National Guard. This decision comes as the state's Democratic governor, Gavin Newsom, pursues legal action contesting Trump's deployment of troops.
The legal dispute centers around Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard to manage protests and unrest in Los Angeles, an action that has sparked controversy and prompted a lawsuit from Governor Newsom.
The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals extended a temporary halt on U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer's earlier decision, which had found Trump's federalization of the National Guard to be unlawful. The case remains a point of tension between state and federal authority.
