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.

In response to the protest in Los Angeles, President Trump called in the National Guard, but a federal judge in California ruled the Trump administration took control of those troops illegally and that he must return control to the governor.

California urged a federal appeals court to leave in place for now a lower court’s order that would limit the Trump administration’s use of National Guard troops in Los Angeles to respond to protests over the president’s immigration raids.
