A federal judge had ruled that Trump violated the law and had to turn control of the California National Guard back to the state Friday. But an appeals court put that on hold until a hearing on an appeal can be held next week.

The Trump administration can maintain control of several thousand National Guard troops in California and continue to deploy them in Los Angeles, a federal appeals court ruled late Thursday, pausing a lower court ruling that determined President Donald Trump's federalization of the guardsmen was unlawful.
