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.

A federal judge ruled Trump’s deployment of the California National Guard during the ICE riots was illegal and ordered control returned to Governor Gavin Newsom.

The states say Trump's actions implicate their interest in "ensuring that the deployment of their National Guard units is governed by the rule of law, and not the whims of the President."
