A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will assess President Trump's authority to command California's National Guard to assist in immigration enforcement against Governor Gavin Newsom's opposition. This case follows recent protests against ICE raids in Los Angeles, where local communities have criticized such actions as unjust and indiscriminately targeting vulnerable populations. A federal district judge previously ruled Trump's actions illegal, prompting an appeal from his administration. The implications of this legal battle could define the limits of presidential power over state National Guard deployment in domestic affairs.
The three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will determine if President Trump has the authority to deploy National Guard troops against state wishes.
The use of National Guard troops to support immigration enforcement raises significant questions about executive powers and the legality of military resources on domestic grounds.
