JUST IN: Federal Appeals Court Delivers Major Blow to Gavin Newsom

In a big win for President Trump and a major defeat for California Gov. Gavin Newsom, a federal appeals court just unanimously ruled against giving control of the National Guard to Newsom.

Today, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit granted an extension of a previous ruling that blocked a different judge’s order for President Trump to rescind control of the California National Guard to Gavin Newsom.

CBS News has more:

The unanimous order from a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit is a victory for the president and allows for the continued deployment of roughly 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, where they have been protecting federal property and U.S. immigration agents during enforcement operations.

Mr. Trump invoked a law known as Title 10 to call the Guard into federal service earlier this month in response to demonstrations against immigration raids conducted across Los Angeles. Since then, a total of roughly 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty U.S. Marines have deployed to Los Angeles.

Newsom, a Democrat, objects to the use of troops in California’s largest city and sued the president over his decision to federalize the California Guard. A federal judge, U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer, concluded last week that Mr. Trump’s actions were illegal and exceeded the scope of his authority.

The judge blocked the administration from deploying members of the California National Guard in Los Angeles and directed the president to return control of the troops to Newsom. His decision applied only to Mr. Trump’s deployment of the National Guard, and not the Marines.

The Trump administration swiftly appealed the decision and won a temporary stay of Breyer’s order from the 9th Circuit. It held a hearing Tuesday to consider a Justice Department request to halt the judge’s decision while the case proceeds.

The wins just keep coming…
