U.S. President Donald Trump can keep his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, according to a court ruling, as protests against immigration raids look set to enter their second week in the strongest backlash since his return to power in January.

An appeals court made a ruling Thursday to allow the Trump Administration to keep National Guard troops in Los Angeles during the anti-ICE protests. National Guard troops have been sent to multiple locations in the United States following protests from those who are against the recent mass deportations.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled against President Donald Trump on Thursday, handing control of the state's National Guard back to Democratic California Governor Gavin Newsom amid ongoing protests to Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raids in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles endured a sixth day of protests that have been largely peaceful but occasionally punctuated by violence.
