The appeals court issued its pause just hours after Judge Charles Breyer wrote that Trump’s “actions were illegal." The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the case on June 17.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has temporarily blocked a federal judge’s order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them there following protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.

Judge Charles Breyer ordered the administration to return control of the National Guard to the California governor, but an appeals court stayed the extraordinary decision Thursday night.

The California National Guard remain active on the streets of downtown Los Angeles on Friday after an appeals court put an order from a federal judge to remove the soldiers on hold only hours after it was decreed.

President Donald Trump's deployment of L.A. will be “the first, perhaps, of many,” he told reporters this week.

A federal judge ruled that President Trump exceeded his authority by federalizing the California National Guard without the consent of Gov. Gavin Newsom.

About 500 of the National Guard troops deployed to the Los Angeles protests have been trained to accompany agents on immigration operations, the commander in charge said Wednesday.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a brief victory in his lawsuit against President Trump, but an appeals court quickly blocked a federal judge's order.

U.S. Marines have moved into Los Angeles and will take over protecting the Wilshire federal building in the coming hours, the head of the military's efforts in the city said on Friday. U.S. President Donald Trump can keep his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles,
