"And although we hold that the president likely has authority to federalize the National Guard, nothing in our decision addresses the nature of the activities in which the federalized National Guard may engage," the panel wrote in its opinion.
The panel stated Trump had probably acted within his authority and met legal thresholds to federalise the force. Meanwhile, Gavin Newsom is expected to continue his legal battle, citing concerns over state sovereignty and the role of troops in civilian matters.
