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.

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.
