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.

The appeals court issued its pause just hours after Judge Charles Breyer wrote that Trump’s “actions were illegal." The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the case on June 17.

A federal judge on Thursday granted California Gov. Gavin Newsom's request to block the Trump administration from federalizing the National Guard for deployment to Los Angeles amid protests over federal immigration raids. The administration filed a notice of appeal soon after the ruling.
