A federal appeals court seems likely to let former President Trump keep control of California National Guard troops, who were sent to Los Angeles after protests about immigration raids. This possible decision would change a lower court's order for Trump to give control back to Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom, who did not agree with the deployment, saying that Trump had gone beyond his power. The result of this case could greatly affect a president's power to send soldiers into U.S. cities. This situation is important because it is the first time since 1965 that a president has used a state National Guard without the governor's permission. The judges, two chosen by Trump and one by Biden, suggested that presidents have a lot of freedom under the federal law that applies. However, they did not agree with the Justice Department lawyer's argument that courts could not look at Trump's decision. A decision from the group of judges is expected soon.
