Appeals court lets Trump keep control of National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles

Editor’s Note: This isn’t just about troop deployments—it’s a power struggle. The ruling underscores the friction between Trump’s administration and local governments over who calls the shots in crisis response. For LA, it means federal oversight of military presence during volatile protests, raising questions about autonomy and escalation. It’s a snapshot of the broader tug-of-war between Washington and cities on hot-button issues like immigration and policing.
