Three judges of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit handed Donald Trump another legal win over Gavin Newsom on Thursday, ruling unanimously in favor of his continued control over the California National Guard.

“Affording the President that deference, we conclude that it is likely that the President lawfully exercised his statutory authority under § 12406(3), which authorizes federalization of the National Guard when “the President is unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States,” the decision reads in part.
