Appeals court appears skeptical of Newsom's claim that Trump illegally deployed National Guard
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
A three-judge panel appeared skeptical on Tuesday during a hearing of California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s argument that President Donald Trump violated the law when he deployed thousands of National Guard members to respond to protests and riots in Los Angeles County.
All three judges on the panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit grilled a state attorney over Newsom’s request for the court to restrict Trump’s use of the National Guard.
The judges conveyed uncertainty about whether the court even had the ability to review Newsom’s claims, citing a case from 1827 that found presidents have exclusive authority over the militia.
“Even if we were to agree with you that there is some limited role of judicial review, how can, with the facts here and the language in Martin v. Mott, how can that test be met here by the state to justify an injunction against the president’s actions?” Judge Mark Bennett, a Trump appointee, asked.
Judge Jennifer Sung, a Biden appointee, said the “problem” she saw with California attorney Samuel Harbourt’s arguments was that the 1827 decision “seemed to broadly hold that … Congress was essentially giving the president the authority, the exclusive authority, to determine whether the [need for military presence] existed.”

The panel is weighing whether to extend its temporary hold on a lower court order, issued by Clinton-appointed Judge Charles Breyer last week, that temporarily blocked Trump from using National Guard soldiers in parts of Los Angeles.
Trump and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth invoked a provision of Title 10 to deploy military forces in the county following spurts of riotous behavior and heavy protesting in response to immigration raids during the past ten days.
In court papers, Department of Justice attorneys said Trump and Hegseth were using the military strictly to protect Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) personnel and federal buildings.
The law they invoked includes the condition that there be a rebellion or invasion or that federal authorities, in this case ICE officials, are unable to carry out their jobs. The law also includes the condition that the president go “through” a governor to federalize the National Guard.
DOJ attorneys said that language did not require Trump to obtain Newsom’s permission to deploy the National Guard, despite presidents typically only doing so with a governor’s consent. Instead, the law simply required that Trump notify Newsom, the attorneys said.
Newsom fiercely opposed Trump federalizing guard members, and attorneys for California argued in court filings that the decision exacerbated the unrest and led to exponentially more rioting incidents. They said that regardless of the severity of the rioting, it did not “remotely” meet the criteria required under the Title 10 provision.

“As the district court found based on the record evidence, the circumstances here do not remotely amount to a ‘rebellion or danger of a rebellion’ or a situation that renders the President ‘unable with the regular forces to execute the laws of the United States,’” the state attorneys wrote.
Harbourt said during Tuesday’s hearing that local and state law enforcement had made around 1,000 arrests related to protest activity.
Since June 7, Trump has federalized 4,000 National Guard members and enlisted 700 Marines to offer support in California as ICE officials carry out raids and arrest allegedly illegal immigrants, including dozens with criminal records.

An ICE official said in an affidavit that National Guard members have been “essential” to providing extra support around the 300 N. Los Angeles Federal Building, which has been the site of frequent protests and unrest since the immigration raids began.
“Prior to the National Guard’s deployment, rioters and protestors assaulted federal, state, and local law enforcement officers with rocks, fireworks, and other objects. They also damaged federal property by spray painting death threats to federal law enforcement officers,” the ICE official wrote.

Utah
Utah Blanks Philadelphia, 3-0 | Utah Mammoth
Schmaltz’s 24 goals this season are a new career-high. He’s been a consistently strong presence and has taken on more responsibility with the switch from wing to center. His goal on the power play came just eight seconds into the man-advantage and opened the scoring early in the second period. In addition to his goal, he had an assist on Utah’s second goal of the game. Tourigny discussed Schmaltz’s maturity following the win.
“He’s a mature person, mature man,” Tourigny explained. “He really wants to make a difference. I always say about Schmaltz, (he’s) a gamer. He wants to play in those moments, and I think he’s excited about where our team is at, and he wants to be a big part of it, and he is. He’s a huge leader for us.”
Utah held Philadelphia to 16 total shots: four in the first period, seven in the second, and five in the third. The Mammoth showed their strong defensive game in the win.
“I think that’s when we’re at our best, when we’re defending hard,” Schmaltz said. “We’re playing with a lot of pace, not giving them time and space, frustrating them, and making them force plays, and then we turn it over and go the other way.”
On the flip side, against a stingy Philadelphia defense, Utah generated 23 shots including 14 in the second period. Schmaltz spoke to what led to the increased opportunities in the middle frame.
“A little bit more direct,” Schmaltz shared. “I think our transition game was really good. We were catching them, kind of hemming them in. Good line changes and just rolling them over and shooting a little bit more.”
In addition to Schmaltz’s goal, Captain Clayton Keller scored his 19th of the season seven and half minutes after his linemate’s tally to increase the score to 2-0. Michael Carcone’s empty net goal with 1:48 left in regulation secured the 3-0 win.
Additional Notes from Tonight (per Mammoth PR)
- The Mammoth’s power play went 1-for-2 against the Flyers. Utah has scored seven power play goals in seven games (7-for-18, 38.9%). On the other side of special teams, the Mammoth’s penalty kill went 3-for-3.
- JJ Peterka played his 300th NHL game. Peterka was selected 34th overall in the 2020 NHL Draft and is the ninth player from his draft class to reach the milestone. He is also just the eighth German-born forward in NHL history to accomplish the feat.
- Keller has recorded 11 points in his last seven games (2/2-3/5: 3g, 8a), finding the scoresheet in six of those contests.
- With two assists tonight, Dylan Guenther has posted his second straight multi-point outing (3/3 at WSH: 1g, 1a) and his third in five games (2/25 vs. COL: 2g).
Utah has won the first two games of a five-game road trip. Up next, the Mammoth travel to Columbus and face the Blue Jackets on Saturday night.

Washington
Capitals Acquire a Conditional First-Round Pick in Either 2026 or 2027 and a 2027 Third-Round Pick from Anaheim for John Carlson | Washington Capitals
The Washington Capitals have acquired a conditional first-round pick in either the 2026 NHL Draft or the 2027 NHL Draft and a third-round pick in the 2027 NHL Draft from the Anaheim Ducks for defenseman John Carlson, senior vice president and general manager Chris Patrick announced today. Should Anaheim qualify for the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Anaheim will transfer its 2026 first-round pick to Washington. If Anaheim fails to qualify for the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs, Anaheim has the option to retain its 2026 first-round pick and transfer its 2027 first-round pick to Washington instead.
“Since joining our organization 17 years ago, John Carlson has exemplified what it means to be a Washington Capital every day,” said Patrick. “John’s determination, leadership, persistence and skill helped our franchise reach new heights and cemented him as a cornerstone and one of the greatest players in Capitals history. His contributions to our organization and the Washington, D.C., community both on and off the ice have been immeasurable. We are incredibly grateful for everything John has given to our team and wish him and his family nothing but the best moving forward with Anaheim.”
The Capitals own 22 total picks in the next three drafts, including four first-round selections and nine picks in the first three rounds. Washington also acquired a 2029 second-round pick from the Vegas Golden Knights on March 5.
Carlson, 36, recorded 46 points (10g, 36a) in 55 games with the Capitals this season and will be an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season. Carlson has played his entire 17-season career with the Capitals and is the franchise’s all-time leader in games played (1,143), goals (166), assists (605) and points (771) among defensemen. The Natick, Massachusetts native helped lead the Capitals to their first Stanley Cup championship in 2018, and led all defensemen in playoff scoring with 20 points (5g, 15a) in 24 games played. Carlson was originally drafted by Washington in the first round (27th overall) of the 2008 NHL Draft.
