**Courts Restore California Control of National Guard After Legal Challenge**

A federal court has ruled against President Donald Trump’s deployment of National Guard troops in California, returning command authority to the state’s governor after determining the federal action exceeded legal limits. The decision marks the latest setback for the administration amid ongoing disputes over federal and state authority.

California officials had challenged the deployment shortly after it was announced, arguing that the president acted without the consent required under federal law and the U.S. Constitution. The court agreed, ordering that control of the Guard be immediately transferred back to the state.

In a statement following the ruling, state leaders said the decision reaffirmed California’s right to manage its own National Guard except under narrowly defined federal circumstances. The Trump administration had defended the deployment as necessary for national security, but the court rejected that justification.

Legal analysts say the ruling underscores long-standing limits on presidential power over state-controlled military forces. California officials indicated they will continue to oppose what they describe as unlawful federal overreach, while the administration has not yet announced whether it will appeal the decision.
