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.

Washington state leaders denounce Trump's activation of the California National Guard against the state governor's wishes.

"Texas National Guard will be deployed to locations across the state to ensure peace & order," said Texas governor Greg Abbott.

The order, which takes effect at noon Friday, said the deployment of the Guard was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump's statutory authority.

The decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit blocks a federal judge’s earlier order to return control of the troops to California.

Some 200 U.S. Marines are deploying to Westwood to protect the federal building amid protests over ongoing immigration raids.

California Attorney General Rob Bonta said Monday that he’ll soon file a lawsuit against the Trump administration for federalizing National Guard troops this weekend.

Immigration raids have fueled days of protests, resulting in hundreds of arrests in Los Angeles as demonstrations have spread across the nation.

Donald Trump’s mobilization of the National Guard to quell LA protests is a rare exercise of presidential power.

The deployment was unauthorized by Gov. Gavin Newsom, who wrote that federal actions inflamed tensions while pulling away resources.

The 700 Marines and 4,100 National Guard members President Donald Trump has deployed to Los Angeles, over the objection of state and local officials, have been authorized to detain but not arrest anyone who interferes with immigration raids or harasses federal agents during protests,
