On June 12, 2025, the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals made a key decision regarding President Trump's deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles. The court temporarily halted a previous order that required Trump to return control of the National Guard back to California.
• Court Ruling: The Ninth Circuit's ruling allows Trump to maintain the National Guard's deployment amidst ongoing riots in Los Angeles.
• Previous Order: Earlier that day, a federal judge in San Francisco, Charles Breyer, ordered Trump to revert control of the National Guard to California's Governor Gavin Newsom. The judge claimed Trump violated the Tenth Amendment and labeled his actions as illegal.
• Troops Mobilized: In response to violent protests, around 700 US Marines and 4,000 National Guard troops had been mobilized by Trump to help ease the unrest.
• Legal Dispute: The conflict arose from Newsom's lawsuit against Trump, arguing that his actions overstepped federal authority. Following Breyer's order, the Trump administration swiftly appealed to the Ninth Circuit, which quickly sided with Trump.
• Judges Involved: The three-judge panel included Mark Bennet and Eric Miller, both appointed by Trump, and Jennifer Sung, appointed by Biden.
The Ninth Circuit's decision maintains President Trump's current control over the National Guard in Los Angeles for the time being, pending further legal developments. This case illustrates the ongoing tensions between state and federal authority regarding emergency responses to civil unrest.
