Federal appeals court blocks California's National Guard victory over Trump, escalating constitutional crisis between president and governor.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday temporarily blocked a federal judge's order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of National Guard troops to California after he deployed them in response to protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.

California Governor Gavin Newsom is taking the Trump Administration to court over its decision to send troops to Los Angeles.

It was earlier this year that California Gov. Gavin Newsom was making nice with President Donald Trump as he sought help for his wildfire-battered state and moderating his approach ahead of a potential bid for the White House.

Austin, TX Mayor Pro Tempore Vanessa Fuentes joins Christina Ruffini to slam the Governor’s “clear escalation” that only creates “more tension in communities instead of creating a safer community.
