A San Francisco-based appeals court delivered a significant decision on Thursday, allowing President Donald Trump to keep control of the California National Guard amid a brewing legal battle.
The move comes as California's Democratic governor proceeds with a lawsuit that challenges the legality of the president's decision to deploy troops to help manage protests and unrest in Los Angeles. The three-judge panel extended a pause on U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer's June 12 ruling, which had declared the call-up of the National Guard to be unlawful.
This ruling adds a fresh twist to the ongoing debate over federal authority and public safety during turbulent times. While legal arguments continue to unfold, for now, the president retains command as both sides prepare for the next steps.
