The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily blocked a federal judge’s order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them there following protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.

A federal judge has blocked President Donald Trump's move to deploy California National Guard troops during protests over immigration raids in Los Angeles, calling the move "illegal" and ordering the Trump administration to return the control of the California National Guard to the control of Gov.

A federal judge ruled Thursday that President Trump illegally federalized the California National Guard in response to the Los Angeles protests and ordered that the force be returned to the control of Democratic Gov.
