Overview

  • President Trump federalized California’s National Guard on June 6, sending more than 4,000 troops to Los Angeles without Gov. Gavin Newsom’s consent.
  • U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled on June 13 that the deployment violated federal procedure and ordered the Guard returned to state command.
  • The Ninth Circuit granted a temporary stay and will hear the case on June 17 before a three-judge panel with two Trump appointees and one Biden appointee.
  • In a Truth Social post, Trump directed ICE to carry out “the single largest mass deportation program in history,” expanding enforcement in major cities including Los Angeles.
  • California Attorney General Rob Bonta argues Title 10 does not apply since there is no invasion or rebellion and legal experts say the dispute could reach the Supreme Court.
