The rules of the American Court of Appeal Trump can keep control of the California National Guard | Donald Trump News

President Donald Trump is a decision like a “big victory”, but Governor Gavin Newsom promises to continue a legal challenge.

A Court of Appeal of the United States ruled that the administration of President Donald Trump could keep control of the national guard troops in Los Angeles, on the objections of the Californian governor Gavin Newsom.

Thursday’s decision comes in a context of increased tensions in the largest city in California, which has become zero zero of Trump’s immigration repression in the United States.

In a 38-page unanimous decision, a panel of three judges said Trump was in his rights earlier this month when he ordered 4,000 national guard members in service for 60 days to “protect federal staff performing federal functions and to protect federal goods”.

“Offering an appropriate deference to the president’s determination, we conclude that he probably acted within his authority in the federalization of the National Guard,” said the 9th Circuit Court of Appeal, based in San Francisco.

Trump, a Republican, had appointed two of the judges of the United States Court of Appeal for the ninth circuit committee while his Democratic predecessor, Joe Biden, named the third, according to American media.

Last week, a judge of the lower court ordered Trump to make control of the California National Guard in Newsom, saying that the president’s decision to deploy them during the federal immigration detention in Los Angeles was “illegal”. On June 12, this decision by the American district judge Charles Breyer caused the appeal.

Thursday evening, Trump praised the decision of the Court of Appeal in an article on his social media platform of truth, calling him a “big victory”.

“In the United States, if our cities and employees need protection, we are those who give them should that the local police are incapable, for any reason, to do the work,” wrote Trump.

‘Not a king’

The state of California had argued that Trump’s order was illegal because it did not follow the procedure for issuing the governor.

It was the first time since 1965 that an American president has deployed the National Guard for the wishes of a state governor.

The judges said that “Trump’s failure to directly issue the federalization order” by the Governor of California does not limit his authority, otherwise legitimate to call the National Guard “.

But they declared that the panel did not agree with the accused’s main argument that the president’s decision to federate the members of the California National Guard “is completely isolated from the judicial revision”.

“Nothing in our decision deals with the nature of the activities in which the Federal National Guard can get involved,” he wrote in his opinion.

Newsom could still contest the use of the National Guard and the Marines under other laws, including the bar for the use of troops in the application of national laws, he added.

The governor could raise these issues during a court hearing Friday before Breyer, he also said.

In an article on social networks after the decision, Newsom promised to continue his challenge.

“Donald Trump is not a king and not above the law,” he wrote.

“Tonight, 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.

“We will not leave this authoritarian use of military soldiers against citizens without controlling.”
