"The Trump administration deployed 14 soldiers from California's National Guard to Illinois to train troops from other states, according to a motion California filed Tuesday asking the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to end the federal government's control of its National Guard. Trump's decision to move California troops who had been sent to Portland on Sunday and redeploy them to Illinois escalates tensions in the growing fight over who controls state military forces - and how far presidential power can reach in domestic operations."
"Federal officials have told California they intend to issue a new order extending Trump's federalization of 300 members of the state's Guard through Jan. 31, according to the filing. "Trump is going on a cross-country crusade to sow chaos and division," Gov. Gavin Newsom said Wednesday. "His actions - and those of his Cabinet - are against our deeply held American values. He needs to stop this illegal charade now.""
California asked the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals to end President Trump's federal control of the state's National Guard after troops were redeployed from Portland to Illinois. The Trump administration moved 14 California Guard soldiers to Illinois to train troops from other states. Federal officials signaled plans to extend federalization of 300 Guard members through Jan. 31. Governor Gavin Newsom called the deployments a cross-country crusade that sows chaos and urged an end to what he described as an illegal charade. California and Oregon officials sought a restraining order after the redeployment, following a federal judge's temporary block on federalizing Oregon's Guard.
