Summary
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit has set a deadline for the White House to remove National Guard troops from Los Angeles by Monday. The decision maintains a previous order against federal use of the Guard in the city, initially put in place during protests against immigration policies. California's Governor and legal officials argue there's no longer a need for military presence, while the administration has until Monday to comply.
