A federal appeals court will probably let former President Donald Trump keep control of California National Guard troops. These troops were sent to Los Angeles after protests about immigration raids. Before this, a lower court had told Trump to give control of the guard back to Democratic Governor Gavin Newsom. Newsom did not agree with sending the troops, saying that Trump had used too much power. The result of this case could greatly change how much power a president has to send soldiers into U.S. cities. This is important because it's 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, said that presidents have a lot of freedom under the federal law being discussed. However, they did not agree with the Justice Department lawyer's idea that courts could not check Trump’s decision. The court's decision is expected soon.
