Thursday, the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals temporarily blocked a Ordinance of the federal judge This ordered President Donald Trump to Return control of the national guard troops in California after having deployed them there after demonstrations Los Angeles on immigration raids.
The court said he would hold a hearing on the issue on Tuesday. The decision only occurred a few hours after the order of a federal judge was to take effect at noon on Friday.
Earlier Thursday, the American district judge Charles Breyer judged that the deployment of the guard was illegal and both raped the tenth amendment, which defined power between federal governments and states, and exceeded the statutory authority of Trump. The order was only applied to the troops of the National Guard and not to the Navies who were also deployed for the demonstrations of the. The judge said he would not govern the Marines because they were not yet on the street.
A group of 200 navies will begin to protect federal properties and staff in downtown Los Angeles at noon on Friday, said Major-General Scott Sherman, commander of operational force 51 who oversees the 4,700 soldiers deployed in Los Angeles.
The Marines will join some 2,000 troops from the National Guard which have been in the streets of the city since last week, when the immigration raids have triggered demonstrations.
California Governor Gavin Newsom, who had asked the judge an emergency arrest from the troops helping to make immigration raids, had welcomed the previous decision.
“Today, it was really a democracy test, and today we successfully tested,” Newsom said at a press conference before the court of appeal.
In an article on his Truth social platform, Trump thanked the court of appeal on Friday morning.
“If I couldn’t send the soldiers in Los Angeles, this city would burn on the ground at the moment,” he said.
The White House had called Breyer’s order “unprecedented” and said that it “puts our brave federal officials in danger”.
“The district court does not have the power to usurp the president’s authority as commander-in-chief,” said White House spokesperson Anna Kelly in a statement. “The president has exercised his legitimate power to mobilize the National Guard to protect the buildings and federal staff of Los Angeles without the right of Gavin Newsom.

As a rule, the authority to call the national guard resides to governors, but there are limited circumstances in which the president can deploy these troops. Trump federated members of the California National Guard under an authority known as title 10.
Title 10 allows the President to call the National Guard in Federal Service when the country “is invaded”, when there is “there is a rebellion or a danger of rebellion against the authority of the government” or when the president cannot “execute the laws of the United States”.
Breyer, who was appointed by former president Bill Clinton, said in his decision that what is happening in Los Angeles does not respond to the definition of a rebellion.
“Los Angeles’ demonstrations are not far from” rebellion “,” he wrote. “The right of individuals to protest against the government is one of the fundamental rights protected by the first amendment, and the simple fact of becoming bad wandering actors who go too far do not escape this right for everyone.”
California continued the federal government
Newsom continued to block the goalkeeper’s deployment against his wishes. California subsequently filed an emergency request asking the judge to prevent the guard from helping the immigration raids.
The governor argued that the troops were originally deployed to protect federal buildings and wanted the court to prevent troops from helping to protect immigration agents during the raids, claiming that the involvement of the custody would intensify tensions and promote civil disorders.
Sherman said that on Wednesday, about 500 of the guard troops had been trained to support agents on immigration operations. Photos of childcare soldiers ensuring the security of agents have already been disseminated by immigration officials.
None of the navies have been trained to make immigration raids, and it is not yet clear if they end up doing it, said Sherman.
Trump badly called custody, said the judge
In his broad decision, the judge determined that Trump had not properly called custody in the first place.
The trial argued that title 10 also requires that the president goes through the governors when he has made orders to the National Guard, which the Trump administration did not do.
Brett Shumate, lawyer for the federal government, said Trump had respected the law by informing the general in charge of the troops of his decision and has the power to call custody even if he had not done so. In addition, the president’s decisions are not subject to a legal examination, said Shumate.
“Our position is that this is not the subject of a judicial examination,” Shumate told the judge.
Breyer, who at some point agitated a copy of the Constitution, said that he did not agree.
“We are talking about the president who exercises his authority, and the president is, of course, limited in this authority. This is the difference between a constitutional government and King George,” he said.
The demonstrations against immigration raids in Los Angeles intensified after Trump called on guard and has since spread in other cities, including Boston, Chicago and Seattle.
Trump described Los Angeles in terrible terms that Mayor Karen Bass and Newsom say are nowhere near the truth.
Most of the sprawling city has been spared while demonstrations continue in the city center, near the town hall and a federal detention center where some immigrants are held.
