The court case could have wider implications on the president’s #power to deploy #soldiers within the #US after #Trump directed #immigration officials to prioritize #deportations from other #Democratic-run #cities.
Trump, a Republican, argued that the #troops were necessary to restore order. Newsom, a #Democrat, said the move inflamed tensions, usurped local authority & wasted resources.

The ruling means control of the #California #NationalGuard will stay in #federal hands as the lawsuit continues to unfold.
The #state could choose to ask the full appeals court to rehear the matter, or it could directly ask #SCOTUS to intervene. But the state might also just move on from the current part of the dispute, since the ruling on Thurs pertains to a short-lived temporary restraining order that will soon be obsolete anyway.

Either way, litigation in the case is set to return on Friday to the San Francisco courtroom of the Federal District Court judge, Charles Breyer, for a hearing. He is weighing whether to issue a more durable preliminary injunction restricting what #Trump can do with some 4,000 #NationalGuard #troops or 700 active-duty #Marines his admin has also deployed into the #city.

Judge Breyer’s temporary restraining order [#TRO] concerned only the #NationalGuard & whether it was lawful for #Trump to mobilize them under #federal control. At the hearing on Friday, he is also set to address a #state request to limit #troops under federal control to guarding federal buildings, & to bar them from accompanying #ICE agents on the #workplace #raids that sparked the #protests.

@Nonilex the fascists know they will never be held accountable for their behavior and actions. They will always justify and rarely or never have evidence.
That request centers on a 19th-century #law, the #PosseComitatusAct, that generally makes it illegal to use the #military for #domestic law enforcement. The #Trump admin has argued that the #troops are not themselves performing law enforcement tasks, but rather are protecting civilian agents who are trying to arrest undocumented #immigrants.
