Appeals Court Keeps Nat’l Guard Under Trump’s Control in L.A. Amid Ongoing ICE Raids and Protests

HeadlineJun 13, 2025

An appeals court ruled late Thursday that Trump can remain in charge of the 4,000 National Guard members deployed around Los Angeles, reversing a court order just hours earlier which had returned authority over National Guard personnel in California to Governor Gavin Newsom. A three-judge panel will hear the case again on Tuesday.

Neighborhood protests have been continuing throughout the L.A. region as federal agents raid more homes and businesses. Protests have also targeted hotels, including in Pasadena and near LAX, the Los Angeles airport, where ICE agents have been staying.

Meanwhile, Trump indicated he might ease up on immigration raids at farms and hotels after those sectors expressed concerns over staff shortages.
