Newsom’s remarks came moments after a federal judge ordered Trump to relinquish control of California’s National Guard troops, ruling his deployment of the Guard to Los Angeles was illegal and unconstitutional. But hours later, a three-judge panel of the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked the order, setting a Tuesday hearing on the matter.

"Veterans ...agree that President Trump's takeover of Los Angeles is not only illegal – it poses a dangerous and serious risk to Americans," says Gov. Newsom.
