Gov. Gavin Newsom’s legal team calls President Trump’s arguments for deploying troops to Los Angeles “terrifying.” The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals today is hearing the case.

A federal appeals court will hear arguments on Tuesday on President Donald Trump's authority to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid protests and civil unrest, days after a lower court ruled that the president unlawfully called the National Guard into service.

The legal battle over the Trump administration's deployment of the National Guard in California continued in a federal appeals court on Tuesday, where a panel of judges indicated they might have only limited power to to rule against the president's power to deploy troops.
