From The Hill: A federal appeals court panel late Thursday temporarily lifted a judge’s order ruling President Trump’s deployment of the National Guard illegal, enabling the troops to remain assisting with immigration raids in Los Angeles, for now.
The ruling from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals landed mere hours after U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ordered the president to return control of the troops to California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) by Friday afternoon.
The three-judge appeals panel is comprised of two Trump-nominated judges, Mark Bennett and Eric Miller, and Judge Jennifer Sung, an appointee of former President Biden.
Their one-page order contained little explanation but suggests it is not a decision on the merits of the case in any way.
The temporary ruling by the Appeals Court says the court’s panel will hold a Zoom hearing on June 17 at 12:00 noon PDT, which allows five more days for the National Guard to be deployed before a final decision is made.
Gov. Newsom (prematurely) celebrated on X Thursday night, posting a copy of the initial block by Breyer, a Bill Clinton appointee.
Now Breyer’s ruling has been slapped down by the Appeals Court.
