California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a brief victory in his lawsuit against President Trump, but an appeals court quickly blocked a federal judge's order.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday 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.

Thousands of people nationwide have shown up at protests and rallies opposing ICE raids as unrest grows in response to the Trump administration's immigration crackdown.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom had sued Trump in an attempt to block the deployment of federal troops in the city, which Newsom has called a “serious breach of state sovereignty.”

Protests that sprang up in Los Angeles over immigration enforcement raids have spread across the country. The Trump administration said it would continue the raids and deportations despite the protests.

President Donald Trump unlawfully federalized thousands of members of California’s National Guard and must return control of the troops to the state, a federal judge ruled Thursday.

Gov. Greg Abbott announced Thursday that he was deploying 5,000 Texas National Guard troops and 2,000 Department of Public Safety officers to "maintain order" at planned anti-Trump protests across the state this weekend.

Thousands of troops and hundreds of US Marines have been deployed to the city by US President Donald Trump to quell the demonstrations. Nearly 400 people have so far been arrested, including 330 undocumented migrants and 157 people arrested for assault and obstruction, including one for the attempted murder of a police officer.
