Appeals Court Restores Trump’s Control of California National Guard

The order comes hours after a judge ordered the administration to return control of the California National Guard to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

A federal appeals court has issued a temporary stay in a ruling handed down just hours earlier on June 12, essentially restoring President Donald Trump’s control of the California National Guard, which he has temporarily placed under his command amid protests and riots in Los Angeles.

The order by the Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals comes just hours after U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ordered the administration to return control of the California National Guard to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

The appeals court order will stay in place at least until Tuesday, giving the administration at least four additional days’ control of the state’s guardsmen.

The judges did not provide details of their legal rationale in the ruling.

Breyer in an earlier order said Trump’s actions federalizing the guard “were illegal—both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution.”

“He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.”

Breyer’s order came after a hearing on June 12, roughly a week after protests erupted in Los Angeles against Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations. The issue centered on whether Trump had authority under federal law to federalize the National Guard.

Justice Department attorney Brett Shumate argued in court that Trump did follow that law and that the judge couldn’t review his actions. California’s attorney, Nicholas Green, had argued that the administration was arguing for an overly expansive view of federal power.

Newsom’s lawsuit had focused on a portion of the law—Section 12406—that required an order to be issued through governors when the president took control of the National Guard.

Shumate said Newsom was “merely a conduit” and that the law didn’t require any kind of consultation with the governor.

Newsom suggested it entailed more, such as some kind of consultation or consent from the governor. He also alleged that Trump was infringing on the governor’s authority over law enforcement within the state.
