1️⃣ Executive Summary
A federal court ruling on June 12, 2025 by Judge Charles Breyer has blocked the federalization of the California National Guard for use in Los Angeles by President Trump.
The court order takes effect at 12:00 PM June 13, stripping federal control over Guard forces in California just before the anticipated June 14 protests/riots.
The ruling does not affect active-duty federal forces under the President’s direct command.
The President still maintains operational control of U.S. Marine forces and can legally reinforce LA with additional Camp Pendleton-based Marines if needed to protect federal property and personnel.
