Trump's National Guard Deployment in California to Be Decided by Federal Court Next Week

A federal court is set to decide whether President Donald Trump can override Governor Gavin Newsom's orders to deploy the National Guard in California amidst ongoing riots, as Newsom alleges that Trump illegally deployed troops without his consent. The case will be heard by an appellate court on Tuesday. The dispute centers on a July 2017 incident where Trump deployed the National Guard to quell anti-immigration protests at the U.S.-Mexico border, with Newsom claiming he was not consulted beforehand. If the court rules in Trump's favor, it would have significant implications for how governors and state governments interact with federal authorities.
