Ninth Circuit Lets Trump Keep Control of the Guard in LA

A unanimous Ninth Circuit panel stayed Judge Breyer's order, holding the President was likely to have lawfully federalized California's National Guard under a "highly deferential" review, so the troops stayed under federal command in Los Angeles.

The panel granted the stay pending appeal, finding defendants "likely to succeed on the merits"^[1].
It held that the President's decision is reviewable but under a highly deferential standard, and that it was likely he lawfully exercised his authority under 10 U.S.C. 12406^[1].
The case was argued and submitted on 17 June 2025^[1].
The June order stayed in place for the rest of the deployment; the district court later turned to the Posse Comitatus Act and the length of the federalization^[3].
