A federal appeals court temporarily overruled a district court decision that stated President Trump federalized California National Guard troops without Governor Gavin Newsom's approval. This ruling comes amid expected protests over immigration enforcement. Newsom described the situation as a 'test of democracy' and expressed confidence in the courts. Trump defended his actions by claiming he saved Los Angeles from chaos. California Attorney General Rob Bonta underlined that this ruling is not the final decision regarding the ongoing legal battle over the National Guard deployment.
"This was really about a test of democracy," Newsom told reporters Thursday evening. "And today, we passed the test."
"If I didn't send the military into Los Angeles, that city would be burning to the ground," the president said. "We saved L.A."
"I'm confident in the rule of law. I'm confident in the Constitution," said Newsom. "It will stand."
California Attorney General Rob Bonta emphasized the appeals court's ruling is not the end of the fight. "This isn't the final decision in our case, and it doesn't yet make a determination on the Marines that have been deployed."
