Court rules Trump unlawfully deployed National Guard to California<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

LOS ANGELES \u2013 A split federal appeals court ruled Friday that President Trump\u2019s deployment<\/a> of 4,000 members of the California National Guard to the Los Angeles area last year was an unlawful abuse of his authority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 2-1 decision by a three-judge panel of the US 9th Circuit Court of Appeals follows precedent set by the US Supreme Court in December holding that Trump\u2019s federalization of the Illinois National Guard was illegal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ruling Friday in San Francisco<\/a> rejects the president\u2019s assertion that there was a \u201crebellion\u201d in Los Angeles that warranted federalizing the guard, an argument the court determined did not stand within a \u201crange of honest judgment.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Trump administration said violent demonstrations in downtown Los Angeles and elsewhere protesting the immigration crackdown justified the president taking control of the guard from Gov. Gavin Newsom<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cToday is a crucial day for the rule of law, upholding the Constitution and defending democracy,\u201d Newsom said in a statement. \u201cYet another court has issued a complete rejection of Donald Trump\u2019s illegal, authoritarian takeover of our state\u2019s National Guard. California fought back against this potential power grab and in doing so, created essential legal precedent that not only protects Californians but all Americans. California continues to stand as a first line of defense against Donald Trump\u2019s authoritarianism.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Previously in the case, the 9th Circuit agreed with Trump, finding that the president acted within the law when he called the troops into federal service for 60 days \u201cto protect federal personnel performing federal functions and to protect federal property.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, the court disagreed with the administration\u2019s argument that the president\u2019s decision to federalize members of the California National Guard was insulated from judicial review.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The appeals panel held Friday that Trump didn\u2019t meet legal requirements to deploy the guard to Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDefendants have not made either of the required threshold showings here,\u201d wrote Judge Jennifer Sung, an appointee of former President Biden. \u201cThus, they have not carried their burden.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Trump-nominated Judge Mark Bennett dissented, writing that the panel shouldn\u2019t have ruled on the case because the Trump administration had wanted to drop its appeal of a lower court\u2019s order for a preliminary injunction against National Guard deployment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The US Justice Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment after regular business hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnce again, the courts have rejected the Trump Administration\u2019s attempts to circumvent the law for its own political agenda,\u201d California Attorney General Rob Bonta<\/a> said. \u201cDeploying the National Guard in Los Angeles with no rhyme or reason was a clear example of federal overreach, and it will not be tolerated. When the president tramples on the Constitution and the rights of Californians, we\u2019ll fight to hold him accountable \u2014 and we will win.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
