Initially, a district court in San Francisco blocked the deployment, ruling it as illegal and unconstitutional. But the federal appeals court has now put a temporary hold on that order.
According to "Politico," the hearing for this case will take place next Tuesday before the appeals court. You might remember that a judge previously determined the deployment ordered by the Trump administration was inappropriate, stating that the president exceeded his authority and must hand control back to the California government.
California Governor Gavin Newsom had strongly criticized the deployment of thousands of National Guard soldiers in Los Angeles due to protests against the government's immigration policy. Newsom referred to the deployment as an "unnecessary militarization of Los Angeles."
In the United States, the federal states usually control the National Guard, with the President taking control only during times of war or national emergencies. The National Guard is a military reserve unit and part of the U.S. armed forces. They can be deployed in cases of natural disasters, unrest, or internal emergencies. But, when it comes to deploying the National Guard in a state against the will of that state's government, the president's decision raises significant constitutional and legal questions.
