The Court of Appeal says that Trump can keep control of the Troops of the California National Guard

President Donald Trump has the right to Deploy the California National Guard In the midst of demonstrations against the federal police on immigration raids, a court of appeal ruled Thursday evening.

A panel of three judges of the 9th Circuit Court of American Appeals judged that the federal government had made a “strong demonstration” required by arguing that it would prevail against California’s challenge to legality the deployment of troops generally under the control of the governor.

The court said he disagreed with the Trump administration’s position according to which “the president’s decision to federate the members of the California National Guard … is completely isolated from judicial control”.

But he argued that the president’s office has an unusual weight in this area.

“Under a precedent for a long time … Our examination of this decision must be very deferential” to the president, wrote the panel in his decision. “Offering the president this deference, we conclude that it is likely that the president legally exercised his statutory authority.”

The recent activation of the national guard troops in Los Angeles was the first by a president without the permission of the governor Since 1965.

Trump and members of his administration argued that the angry demonstrators against immigration raids in Los Angeles, many of whom gathered outside the region’s federal buildings, were not under the control of the local police.

In addition, the panel declared, even if the governor did not agree with the deployment this month, the use of the defense secretary to order the troops in action was a legal avenue which “probably satisfied the requirement of the procedure of the law according to which the ordinances of federalization be issued” through the governor, “he said.

Thursday evening’s decision canceled a temporary ban prescription that had been interrupted during calls.

The panel said: “Our conclusion that it is likely that the order of the president federally the members of the California National Guard was authorized.”

He also argues that the temporary prohibition order could have harmed “the public interest” at a moment of mass protest.

The court granted a request to maintain the lower court order during new calls, which gives Trump’s troops control.

Trump celebrated the decision, calling for it a “great victory … on the basic power of the president” on Its social social media platform

“It’s much bigger than Gavin, because everywhere in the United States, if our cities and employees need protection, we are those who give them if the local police could not, for any reason, to do the work,” said Trump. “This is an excellent decision for our country.”

Newsom “expressed his disappointment” that the court authorizes Trump to retain control of the California National Guard, but he also saw hope in the decision.

“The court rightly rejected Trump’s assertion that he can do whatever he wants with the National Guard and not having to explain a court,” Newsom said in a statement. “The president is not a king and is not above the law. We will advance our challenge to the authoritarian use of President Trump of American military soldiers against citizens.”

The State Attorney General, Rob Bonta, added in his own declaration: “This case is far from over”.

Bonta filed the federal trial against the Trump administration On June 9, arguing that the federalization of troops by Trump was “illegal” and “broke the role of Governor Newsom as commander of the California National Guard”.
