Judge Breyer Orders Trump to Return California's Guard to Newsom

US District Judge Charles Breyer granted California a temporary restraining order finding the federalization of the state's National Guard illegal and ordering control returned to Governor Newsom, a ruling the Ninth Circuit paused within hours.

The order found the President's actions "both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment" and told the administration to "return control of the California National Guard to the Governor ... forthwith"^[1].
It was stayed until noon the next day; the federal government appealed at once and the Ninth Circuit issued an administrative stay^[1][3][4].
Breyer wrote that "the protests in Los Angeles fall far short of 'rebellion'"^[4].
California had sued on 9 June and moved for the TRO on 10 June^[1][2].
By then about 4,000 Guard troops and 700 Marines had been deployed; the ruling did not cover the Marines^[1][4].
