Appeals Court allows Trump’s Nat’l Guard deployment for now
An appeals court is allowing President Trump to keep control over California’s National Guard troops until a hearing next week. On Thursday, a federal judge ruled that the president illegally deployed the National Guard to help with LA protests, and must return control of the troops to California’s governor. But hours later, the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked that judge’s order. The court said it would hold a hearing on the matter on Tuesday. The order applied only to the National Guard troops and not Marines who were also deployed to Los Angeles.
