U.S. President Donald Trump can keep his deployment of National Guard troops in Los Angeles, according to a court ruling, as protests against immigration raids look set to enter their second week in the strongest backlash since his return to power in January.

The appeals court issued its pause just hours after Judge Charles Breyer wrote that Trump’s “actions were illegal." The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals will hear the case on June 17.

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has asked a federal judge to temporarily limit President Trump's use of National Guard troops and U.S. Marines.

Los Angeles endured a sixth day of protests that have been largely peaceful but occasionally punctuated by violence.
