A federal appeals court late Thursday paused a ruling that required President Donald Trump to return control of members of California’s National Guard to the state.

A federal judge has ruled that President Trump’s call-up of the California National Guard was illegal, prompting an immediate appeal from the Trump administration. The troops will remain in place for at least a few days after the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals granted an administrative stay of the judges ruling.

The original ruling came hours after DHS agents roughed up and handcuffed Sen. Alex Padilla at a press conference held by Kristi Noem The post Trump Retains National Guard Control in California as Appeals Court Blocks Federal Judge’s Order appeared first on TheWrap.

A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump's move to deploy California National Guard troops during protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles, calling the move "illegal" and ordering the Trump administration to return the control of the California National Guard to the control of Gov.

"By calling forth troops...the President flouts the vision of our Founders," read an amicus brief filed by 21 states.
