(filed June 9, 2025)
Newsom et al. v. Donald Trump et al. – the state of California challenged the federal government on the unlawful action of deploying the California National Guard in the Los Angeles area in violation of the U.S. Constitution. On December 10, 2025, the district court issued a preliminary injunction ordering the return of the control of the California national guard to the California Governor and blocked further deployments. The federal case is ongoing at the district court and Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals (note there are two cases pending in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals related to this case Nos. 25-3727 and 25-7781). Additionally, the federal court is also waiting on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals case Oregon v. Trump (Nos. 25-6268 and 25-7194), which is a similar companion case about the unlawful federal deployment in Oregon. The federal case is ongoing. However, see Donald J. Trump v. Illinois, U.S. Supreme Court case No. 25A443, as the victory of this case will influence the outcome of these cases.
