The legal battle over the Trump administration's deployment of the National Guard in California heads to a federal appeals court on Tuesday. The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals will preside over a remote hearing regarding California's challenge to President Donald Trump's federalization of the state's National Guard troops amid protests over immigration enforcement in the Los Angeles area.

A federal appeals court will hear arguments on Tuesday on President Donald Trump's authority to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid protests and civil unrest, days after a lower court ruled that the president unlawfully called the National Guard into service.

A three-judge panel will determine whether National Guard troops can remain under President Trump’s command in Los Angeles as protests against immigration raids continue.
