According to a report by the Associated Press on June 12, a U.S. federal judge issued a temporary restraining order on the same day, stating that President Trump's deployment of the National Guard in California was "illegal", violating the Tenth Amendment of the U.S. Constitution and exceeding his statutory authority. According to this order, Trump needs to return the control of the National Guard to the state of California. The report said that this restraining order will take effect at noon local time on the 13th. The White House has not yet commented on this matter, but the federal government immediately appealed to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. It remains to be seen how this restraining order will affect the development of the situation. Previously, because Trump deployed the National Guard in Los Angeles without going through Governor Newsom of California, the local authorities in California were extremely dissatisfied with Trump's decision. Newsom said he would use legal means to prevent the continued deployment of the National Guard in Los Angeles. The local authorities in California also submitted an emergency motion, requesting the judge to stop the National Guard from assisting relevant departments in raiding and arresting illegal immigrants. In response, Trump's side stated in the official statement on the 11th that the related legal proceedings were "a rude political gimmick endangering American lives."

From the perspective of American law, usually, the power to call up the National Guard is in the hands of the governor, but the president can also deploy these troops in limited situations. Trump's operation was: according to the "United States Code Title 10", he legally "federalized" the soldiers of the California National Guard and directly issued orders to them. California argued in the lawsuit that the "United States Code Title 10" also stipulates that the president must go through the governor when issuing orders to the National Guard. However, the defense lawyer for the Trump administration stated that Trump's actions were reasonable and lawful. The Department of Justice also stated in a brief that Trump's order was not subject to judicial review: "When President Eisenhower deployed troops to protect schools and abolish racial segregation, the court did not intervene; when President Nixon deployed troops to deliver mail during the postal strike, the court did not intervene; the court should not intervene in Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles."
