A federal appeals court late Thursday paused a ruling that required President Donald Trump to return control of members of California’s National Guard to the state.

Judge Charles Breyer ordered the administration to return control of the National Guard to the California governor, but an appeals court stayed the extraordinary decision Thursday night.

Governors aren't on the same page about the National Guard for "No Kings" protests. They are weighing public safety, and if Trump will step in.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem pledged to carry on with the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown despite waves of unrest across the U.S.

On Tuesday, the X page for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted photos of California National Guardsmen on the scene of a detention being carried out by an ICE agent with the caption "Photos from today's ICE Los Angeles immigration enforcement operation."

Maj. Gen. Scott Sherman said 500 National Guard members have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations.

Los Angeles residents and experts say the National Guard's presence in Los Angeles in response to immigration protests is reminiscent of a long-standing dynamic in the state and around the country.

California officials argue that President Trump exceeded his authority by federalizing the National Guard without the consent of Gov. Gavin Newsom and by deploying Marines on American soil.
