Court Lets Trump Keep Control of California National Guard
On June 10, 2025, the U.S. President Donald Trump shakes hands with the U.S. Army Special Operations Command Commanding General Lt. Gen. Jonathan Braga at the Readiness Review. During this monumental event, National leaders watched as Special Forces of 3rd Special Forces Group, the 75th Ranger Regiment and the 160th Special Operations Aviation Regiment showcased precision, speed, and tactical coordination, underscoring Fort Bragg’s role at the center of the U.S. military readiness.

A U.S. appeals court allows President Trump to stay in charge of 4,000 National Guard troops in California—for now.

A U.S. federal appeals court has ruled that President Donald Trump can continue to control thousands of California National Guard members, CNN reports.

Earlier this month, Trump placed around 4,000 members of the Guard under federal control to boost security in Los Angeles during protests against immigration raids.

California’s Governor Gavin Newsom, a Democrat, argued this move broke federal law.

But the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals disagreed, saying Trump likely acted within his legal authority. The court blocked a previous ruling that said Trump had to give control of the troops back to the state.

Legal Dispute Continues

Last week, a lower court judge ruled that Trump had violated parts of the law by not going through the governor when federalizing the troops.

U.S. law usually requires that a president involve the state governor in such decisions.

However, the appeals court decided to pause that ruling for now, meaning Trump keeps control while the legal battle continues.

California could still ask the U.S. Supreme Court to step in.
