00:00A federal appeals court ruled in favor of former President Donald Trump, allowing him to retain
00:05command over the National Guard troops he had deployed to Los Angeles earlier this year.
00:11These troops were sent in response to violent protests that erupted after a mass immigrant
00:16deportation operation sparked outrage. In early 2025, Trump reactivated parts of the National Guard
00:23to assist in restoring order in cities facing civil unrest. California Governor Gavin Newsom
00:30challenged this decision, arguing that state sovereignty was being violated. A lower court
00:37sided with Newsom saying Trump had exceeded his power. However, the appeals court overturned that
00:44decision, saying Trump, quote, likely acted within his authority.
