Overview

  • President Trump invoked Title 10 to deploy roughly 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles after protests against his immigration policies
  • U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled the deployment illegal and ordered the command returned to California
  • A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals stayed Breyer’s order on June 12, allowing Trump to retain control
  • California Governor Gavin Newsom denounced the move as an unnecessary militarization of the city’s streets
  • The appeals court will hold a June 17 hearing to decide the constitutional limits of federal versus state authority over the National Guard
