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.

California Gov. Newsom said the ruling by Judge Charles Breyer was a "check" on President Trump, "whose authoritarian tendencies are increasing by the day."

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.
