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.

Los Angeles faced intense protests due to President Trump's decision to deploy the National Guard. Demonstrators blocked highways and clashed with law enforcement. The National Guard's role is to protect federal buildings.
