Governor Gavin Newsom said in an official statement that he is disappointed in the Ninth Circuit Court’s decision to allow President Trump to retain control of the California National Guard, but is touting one aspect of the court ruling as a victory. 

Writing on X early Friday morning, the Democratic governor proclaimed that Trump is “not a king and not above the law.” 

“The court rightly rejected Trump’s claim that he can do whatever he wants with the National Guard and not have to explain himself to a court. The President is not a king and is not above the law. We will press forward with our challenge to President Trump’s authoritarian use of U.S. military soldiers against citizens,” he went on to say in a press statement later.

The court rejected Trump’s claims that he can federalize the California National Guard at will and still avoid judicial scrutiny, the governor noted. 

“The Ninth Circuit rejected Trump’s sweeping claim that he can federalize the National Guard for any reason and avoid judicial scrutiny, even as it stayed an emergency district court order. This is a critical check on presidential overreach and confirmation that the President is not above the law,” Newsom’s press office stated.

Newsom’s office said that both Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta remain committed to holding the president accountable for using the military as domestic law enforcement – actions, they argued, were in violation of federal law.

Although Newsom says the ruling is a win, there is still an ongoing conflict as the unanimous ruling from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Thursday allowed President Trump to keep control of National Guard troops deployed to Los Angeles earlier this month to quell riots during demonstrations against U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).

In the filing, the court stated that they believed the president had made a lawful decision.

Even though the president failed to notify the governor before deploying the National Guard as required by law, the court cited that Newsom had no power to veto the president’s order.
