Court postpones decree that could prohibit Trump from further utilizing National Guard deployment in California

Scoop: The Great tug-of-war for California's National Guard: Trump vs Newsom

Helter-skelter! The Trump administration's move to deploy the Cali National Guard to L.A. during immigration protests is mired in a big ol' legal kerfuffle with Governor Newsom. Here's what went down.

The Lowdown

Deployment Depper: Trump flexed his Muscles, invoking Section 12406 of Title 10 of the U.S. Code to deploy the National Guard in response to…well, a "rebellion or danger of a rebellion" against the government. Sounds a bit like a Marvel movie, don't it? But in this instance, he claimed it was needed to safeguard federal property and personnel[1].
High Fives for Empire-Building? Newsom and Bonta ain't here for Trump's power play, contending that there was no rebellion or invasion in L.A., and that the scenario could be managed by local and state authorities[1][2].

The Legal Gig

Newsom's Showdown with Big-Daddy POTUS: Newsom and Bonta filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, alleging that the federalization of the National Guard flouted proper legal procedures, including clearing it with the Governor, as stated in 10 U.S.C. § 12406[2][3].
The Court Circus: The federal appeals court paused an order that would've stopped the deployment, letting the National Guard continue their presence in L.A. while the court considers the government's challenge[4].

The Current Score

As of now, the National Guard is still in L.A., and the legal wrangle continues, with the federal appeals court's decision to hold off the order blocking the deployment hinting that the legal battle ain't over yet. Stay tuned!

The deployment of California's National Guard to Los Angeles during immigration protests has led to a divisive legal dispute between the Trump administration and Governor Newsom.
President Trump invoked Section 12406 of Title 10 of the U.S. Code to justify the deployment, claiming it was necessary to deal with a potential rebellion or danger of rebellion.
However, Governor Newsom and Attorney General Bonta argue that there was no rebellion or invasion in Los Angeles, and that local and state authorities could have effectively managed the situation.
In response, Newsom and Bonta filed a lawsuit against the Trump administration, accusing them of bypassing proper legal procedures, including failing to consult with the Governor as required by 10 U.S.C. § 12406.
The federal appeals court suspended an order that could have halted the deployment, allowing the National Guard to remain in Los Angeles while the court considers the government's challenge.
The legal battle over the deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles continues, with the federal appeals court's decision to postpone the order suggesting that the legal battle is far from over.
Meanwhile, the general news landscape is filled with reports of other pressing issues such as policy and legislation, war and conflicts, crime and justice, car accidents, sports, football, and the NFL, providing a stark contrast to the political tug-of-war over California's National Guard.
