California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a brief victory in his lawsuit against President Trump, but an appeals court quickly blocked a federal judge's order.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday temporarily blocked a federal judge’s order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them there following protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.

About 700 Marines and more than 4,000 National Guard have been deployed at the cost of $134 million. William Deverell is a professor of history at USC’s Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

Thousands of people nationwide have shown up at protests and rallies opposing ICE raids as unrest grows in response to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

President Donald Trump unlawfully federalized thousands of members of California’s National Guard and must return control of the troops to the state, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

The political divide over President Donald Trump’s deployment of California National Guard troops to assist in managing ongoing protests in Los Angeles has extended to Nevada.

Trump deployed 4,000 National Guardsmen and 700 Marines to LA against the wishes of Newsom and Bass. Newsom sued the Trump administration, saying they unlawfully "trampled over" California’s sovereignty when they federalized the California National Guard.

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