The development comes a day after an appeals court temporarily blocked a judge’s order that directed President Trump to return control of the California National Guard.

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.

I would like to emphasize that the soldiers will not participate in law enforcement activities,” the task force leader told reporters.

Judge Charles Breyer ordered the administration to return control of the National Guard to the California governor, but an appeals court stayed the extraordinary decision Thursday night.

California officials argue that President Trump exceeded his authority by federalizing the National Guard without the consent of Gov. Gavin Newsom and by deploying Marines on American soil.

Democratic governors on Thursday slammed President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to California amid protests over the administration’s immigration enforcement policies.

Those sweeps are part of a directive from President Trump to find immigrants living in the United States without legal status. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass at a Tuesday news conference said a rally is planned for Tuesday night but that it is not expected to be as large as the protests in recent days,

A U.S. Northern Command spokesman said the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines were expected to head out by trucks to Los Angeles Monday night.
