Trump's Decision Holds: Court Lets President Keep National Guard in LA
Court grants Trump permission to mobilize National Guard in Los Angeles
In an unexpected turn of events, a federal appeals court has greenlit President Trump's decision to keep the National Guard deployed in Los Angeles to manage protests, reversing a previous court ruling that found the move illegal. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit has extended its block on a judge's order that aimed to return control of the California National Guard to Governor Gavin Newsom.
The three-judge panel argued that the chaotic conditions in LA justified Trump's seizure of control over the California National Guard. Their deployment was vital to uphold federal immigration laws. Interestingly, the panel included two judges appointed by President Trump himself and one appointed by former President Joe Biden.
In contrast to this decision, a lower court, presided over by U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, had earlier declared Trump's actions as unlawful, granting Newsom's request to halt the deployment. However, the appeals court determined that it is likely Trump acted within his legal authority under Title 10 federal law to federalize the Guard, giving precedence to the President's judgement.
Governor Newsom has expressed disapproval, asserting that the court dismissed Trump's claim of unchecked control over the National Guard. Meanwhile, Trump took to his social media platform to tout the ruling as a significant victory. He underscored the need for federal intervention when state and local authorities fail to maintain order during protests linked to immigration enforcement [1][2][3][4].

I'm not going to be here to witness the unfolding of this situation, but it seems that President Trump's decision to keep the National Guard in LA to manage protests, particularly those linked to immigration enforcement, has been upheld by a federal appeals court. This ruling comes amidst disagreements between the President and Governor Newsom on the matter, with politics playing a significant role in the broader context of war-and-conflicts and general news.
