The Court of Appeals will hear the debate on Tuesday California Over Gavin Newsom’s Democratic government lawsuit accusing President Donald Trump of illegally deploying the National Guard to quell anti-immigration enforcement protests and riots in Los Angeles County.
The three-person review board of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals is set up to determine whether Trump can continue to use thousands of National Guard and hundreds of Marines to protect parts of the county.
The panel consists of two Trump appointees and one Biden appointee.
After a lower court judge ruled in favor of Newsom last week, Trump and the Secretary of Defense discovered the development of Pete Hegses National Guard Soldiers were illegal and three judges temporarily suspended the decision.

The panel decides whether to extend that pause.
In court documents, Justice Department lawyers said Trump and Hegses are strictly using California troops to protect federal officials and federal buildings.
They said that the Title 10 provision cited in the declaration when Trump federated the National Guard would allow the president to activate soldiers without the governor’s consent.
Newsom vehemently opposed Trump’s federal security guards, and California’s lawyers argued that the decision exponentially led to an insurgency case. The lawyer said he did not meet the required criteria under Title 10 provisions “remote” regardless of the severity of the riot.

“As the district courts found on record evidence, the situation here is not remote to “the danger of rebellion or rebellion” or to the situation where the president “cannot enforce US laws along with ordinary forces,” the lawyer wrote.
Since June 7, Trump has federated 4,000 National Guard members and has enlisted 700 Marines to provide assistance in California. Immigration and customs enforcement (ICE) officials allegedly committed the attack and arrested illegal immigrants, including dozens of criminal records.

An ICE official said in the affidavit that National Guard members were “essential” to provide additional support around the 300 N. Los Angeles Federal Building, a sight of frequent protest and unrest since the immigrant raids began.
“Before the deployment of the National Guard, riot police and protesters assaulted federal, state and local law enforcement officials with rocks, fireworks and other objects. They also damaged federal property by plastering death threats on federal law enforcement officials,” ICE officials wrote.
