A federal appeals court late Thursday paused a ruling that required President Donald Trump to return control of members of California’s National Guard to the state.

Former candidate Ramaswamy likens Newsom to George Wallace, drawing parallels between their resistance to federal actions and political ambitions.

Gavin Newsom’s renewed control of the California National Guard didn’t last more than a few hours thanks to a federal appeals court. “The request for an administrative stay is GRANTED,” the court wrote in a short order tonight after the White House and DOJ came up short this afternoon in their bid

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

Newsom put out a press release in 2022 where he announced the deployment of the National Guard to support local communities to set up testing facilities for COVID-19.

Over the years, Trump has threatened to intercede in the state’s long-running homeless crisis, vowed to withhold federal wildfire aid as political leverage in a dispute over water rights, called on police to shoot people robbing stores and warned residents “your children are in danger” because of illegal immigration.

The Justice Department claims California's request to limit the federal response to violent riots in Los Angeles would "countermand" the president's lawful military directives.
