Overview

• A US appeals court on Friday temporarily paused Judge Charles Breyer’s injunction and restored Trump’s command of about 4,000 National Guard soldiers and 700 Marines deployed in Los Angeles.
• Judge Breyer had ruled on June 12 that the deployment exceeded presidential power and ordered the Guard returned to Governor Newsom’s control by Friday at noon.
• Governor Gavin Newsom denounced the mobilization as “unnecessary militarization” of urban streets and argued it violated California’s authority.
• Protests against Trump’s immigration policies have continued nationwide but appear to be easing in Los Angeles, with fresh demonstrations planned over the weekend during a Washington military parade.
• Facing labor shortages voiced by farm and hospitality leaders, Trump signaled on Truth Social that he may soften aspects of his strict immigration enforcement.
