A federal appeals court late Thursday paused a ruling that required President Donald Trump to return control of members of California’s National Guard to the state.

President Donald Trump’s takeover of California’s National Guard to fend off immigration protesters in Los Angeles, halted briefly by a federal judge, is starting to climb up the judicial ladder, with a federal appeals court hearing scheduled Tuesday.

The order, which takes effect at noon Friday, said the deployment of the Guard was illegal and both violated the Tenth Amendment and exceeded Trump's statutory authority.
