President Trump invoked 10 U.S.C. 12406 to call at least 2,000 California National Guard members into federal service for 60 days, over Governor Newsom's objection, to protect ICE agents and federal buildings during the Los Angeles protests.

Declaring a local emergency after 23 businesses were looted, Mayor Karen Bass ordered an 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew across roughly a square mile of downtown Los Angeles, bounded by the 5, 10 and 110 freeways, and lifted it a week later.

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.

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.

After a three-day trial, Judge Charles Breyer found that the Trump administration used federalized Guard troops and Marines for civilian law enforcement in Los Angeles in violation of the Posse Comitatus Act, and enjoined it across California.

Days before Dreamforce, Marc Benioff told The New York Times he backed President Trump sending the National Guard to San Francisco: "We don't have enough cops, so if they can be cops, I'm all for it."

Veteran investor Ron Conway resigned from the Salesforce Foundation's board after a decade, telling Marc Benioff by email that he "barely recognize[d]" him after his National Guard comments.

After Dreamforce closed, Marc Benioff posted that he no longer believed the National Guard was needed in San Francisco and apologized for the concern his remarks caused.

Judge Charles Breyer granted California a preliminary injunction ending the continued federalization of the California National Guard troops still in and around Los Angeles, more than five months after they were sent.

After the Supreme Court refused to let him deploy the Guard in Chicago, President Trump said on Truth Social that he was removing National Guard troops from Los Angeles, Chicago and Portland, ending the LA deployment that began in June.
