Reference News Network reported on June 20 that according to a report from the Singapore United Daily News website on June 20, a US appellate court ruled on June 19 that the Trump administration would retain control over the California National Guard deployed to the Los Angeles area. Previously, California Governor Newsom had questioned Trump's deployment of the California National Guard.
This month, large-scale immigration clearance operations carried out by US federal law enforcement agencies triggered protests in Los Angeles. Subsequently, Trump ordered the deployment of thousands of National Guardsmen and hundreds of Marines to Los Angeles, but this move was opposed by the Los Angeles city government and California Governor Newsom.
The report said that on June 19, a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled that the Trump administration likely used its power to federalize the National Guard legally. The panel said that although the president does not have unrestricted power to seize control of state National Guards, the Trump administration submitted sufficient evidence to prove that he had good reason to do so because protesters engaged in violent behavior.
The appellate court also rejected another key argument raised by California when challenging the actions of the Trump administration, namely that the Trump administration violated procedural requirements of the law. California argued that relevant regulations require the president to issue orders "through the governor" when federalizing state National Guards.
The report also said that Trump celebrated the court's ruling on the "Real Social" website on the night of June 19, calling it a "major victory."
Trump said, "Across the United States, if our cities and people need protection, we will provide them with protection when state and local police cannot complete their work for any reason."
Media believe that this ruling will have a wide-ranging impact on the president's power to deploy state National Guards within the country.
