Can President Trump take over the California National Guard? Appeals court takes up battle next
Briefly

A federal appeals court will hear a case regarding President Trump's authority to control California's National Guard for immigration operations without Governor Newsom's permission. Trump announced ambitious deportation plans via social media, aiming for significant immigration enforcement in major cities like Los Angeles. The Governor has sued to regain control over the National Guard, which Trump moved to federalize amid protests over immigration policy. A district judge labeled Trump's actions illegal, prompting an appeal that temporarily maintains Trump's control until a hearing.
President Trump issued a post declaring that Immigration and Customs Enforcement must embark on "the single largest mass deportation program in history," intensifying immigration enforcement in urban areas like Los Angeles.
U.S. District Judge Breyer called Trump's actions \"illegal\" and stated that the court \"must determine whether the president followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not.\"
