The appeals court issued its pause just hours after Judge Charles Breyer wrote that Trump’s “actions were illegal." The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the case on June 17.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has 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.

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.
