Trump regains control of the troops at the (for the moment) thanks to the Court of Appeal
Update, 9:16 p.m.: The renewed control of Gavin Newsom on the California National Guard did not last more than a few hours thanks to a Federal Court of Appeal.
“The request for administrative suspension is granted,” the court wrote in a short time this evening after the White House and the MJ were short this afternoon in their attempt to maintain a grip on the deployment of troops not noticed and largely considered to be unlikely. “The temporary prohibition order of June 12 of the district court is temporarily suspended while waiting for the order,” said a panel of three judges of two people appointed by Trump and one appointed by Joe Biden.
All this put the brakes on the control of the guard that Trump federalized on June 7 at GOV. Newsom at noon on June 13. He gives Trump at least a hot hot weekend to ignite the situation on the ground in Los Angeles with more raids for the application of immigration. 9th The trio of the Court of Appeals circuit has now set a zoom audience on June 17 on the issue.
In response to the anti-raid anti-glide demonstrations which started at the end of last week, there are currently 4,000 troops of the National Guard in the city of the angels with 700 navies in the mixture. Part of the DTLA around the federal buildings, the town hall, certain courthouses, art galleries and entertainment places has been under curfew for a few days and must remain indefinitely by twilight at dawn at this stage. Every night since the curfew was set up in the city of the sanctuary by the mayor Karen Bass, the LAPD arrested demonstrators and others who remain in the region.
Before the decision of the Court of Appeal overturned the scenario on Newsom, the governor had media dance to the long -standing victory of Foil Trump.
“Today, it was really a democracy test, and today we successfully tested,” he said during a short press conference Thursday evening when he seemed to be back in charge of the guard.
It was not for the first time, Newsom targeted Trump’s claims that it would burst into riots and chaos if he had not taken care and called them as protection on ice. “This is what Donald Trump does,” added the Democrat to two mandates and the potential competitor of the White House in 2028. “He creates a problem – then he tries to be a hero in his own Marvel film. I would call him pathetic if it was not so dangerous.”
Previously, 6:14 p.m.: Donald Trump has just ordered him by a federal judge to “return the control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California.” A meaning immediately in practical terms means noon PT Friday with even more orders for the bench following.
In a prescription made Thursday a few hours after a hearing launched in San Francisco between lawyers of the Ministry of Justice and Golden State lawyers, judge Charles Breyer awarded Gavin Newsom the order of temporary non-restriction which he sought to the federalization of Trump of the California National Guard on June 7 after the Mirrors of Igmigalization Raids leil
“At this early stage of the procedure, the court must determine whether the president followed the procedure mandated by the congress for his actions,” the judge wrote in a 36 -page order this evening. “He didn’t do it.” The Clinton bill appointed the judge added: “His actions were illegal – both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the tenth amendment to the Constitution of the United States.”
Noting the standard required for such a large range of the executive branch and the reality of the mainly passionate but peaceful demonstrations against ice in Los Angeles, the judge said that gatherings around federal buildings and the application of immigration “in Los Angeles are not far from rebellion”.

Newsom and the State Attorney General first brought an action against Trump, dry defense. Pete Hegseth and other members of the administration on June 9. Most of their argument was that the president had surpassed his authority when he sent troops from the National Guard to the region to respond to the demonstrations of Ice Ice Raids at the end of last week by strongly armed masked agents. The Governor said the president had violated the law by not consulting it before deployment.
On June 11, Newsom increased the bet and demanded a Tro to stop “continuous and useless militarization of Los Angeles” and the cheeky authoritarian tactics of Trump as soon as possible. Trump’s DOJ lawyers prompted the deadline for the PT at 1 p.m. He needed more information on both sides and set an audience on the issue for today at 1:30 p.m. PT.
A hearing in which federal lawyers often seemed not to know their own argument or the facts to support it.
Having already warned of “a monarchy” during the hearing earlier during the day, Breyer was worried this evening that “the actions of the defendants also threaten to cool the legitimate expression of the first amendment”. To this, and with the primordial constitutional and jurisdictional problems at stake, he explained exactly the next step for Newsom and Trump with this judgment of military deployment in the second largest American city:
For the above reasons, the court grants the applicants’ request for a temporary prohibition order:
Defenders are temporarily prohibited from deploying members of the California National Guard in Los Angeles.The defendants are responsible for returning control of the California National Guard to Governor Newsom.
The court also remains this order until noon on June 13, 2025.Applicants are ordered to file a nominal deposit of $ 100 within 24 hours. The deposit will be deposited at the clerk office and deposited in the court register. If the said obligation is not displayed by the aforementioned date and time, this order will be dissolved.
Defenders are also ordered to show why a preliminary injunction should not issue. A hearing on this order to show the cause will take place June 20, 2025 at 10 a.m. Applicants’ moving documents must be filed at the latest June 16, 2025; The opposition of defendants must be due at the latest June 18, 2025and the applicants’ response must be due to June 19, 2025.
Whether this white house conforms or not to the order of Breyer is another matter. On the one hand, almost immediately after the prescription of judge Breyer reached the file, the Trump’s DOJ appealed to the ninth circuit court.
Earlier in the day, after the end of the hearing before the end of judge Breyer and before his order was made public, Trump went to his social platform Truth to take more factually inaccurate shots in Newsom or Newscum as he says:
Less than two hours before today’s hearing, the interior security secretary, Kristi Noem, seemed to support Pete Hegseth’s avoidance of a hearing of the Secretary of Defense in Washington, DC earlier in the day whether the administration would respect or not the orders of the court concerning its use of troops in Los Angeles.
“We are not leaving,” said Noem at the same press conference in Los Angeles where federal agents shocked Alex Padilla, handcuffed and trained him for trying to ask a question to the DHS chief. “We stay here to release this city from the socialist and the heavy leadership that this governor and that this mayor has placed on this country and what they tried to insert in this city,” added Noem with a reference to the policies of “sanctuary” of California and Los Angeles which prevent the participation of the State and civic in the raids and the detements of federal immigration.

In addition, Thursday, the mayor of the Karen Bass made much more lively comments than usual for the circumspect politician by speaking of continuous ice back from residents and 4,000 troops and 700 marine in the streets in and around federal buildings and more. “No matter what’s going on from the White House,” said Much Trump Bass today, while DTLA has passed under another night of twilight curfew at dawn. “We will defend and always reflect what Los Angeles and the United States are really: freedom, tolerance and, for the love of God, our Constitution.”
Almost as quickly on the draw for social media as Trump, Newsom went online shortly after the order landed on the file of the Federal Court. “The court has just confirmed what we all know – the army belongs to the battlefield, and not in the streets of our cities,” posted the governor with a copy of the order. “This victory is not only for California, but the nation,” he said in his post. “It is a check on a man whose authoritarian trends are increasing day by day. End of the illegal militarization of Los Angeles now, @realdonaldtrump is observed. ”
Newsom then presented the cameras and said of Trump, among others, “today’s order clearly indicates that it is not beyond or beyond constitutional constraints.”
