Eight of CalGuard's 14 firefighting crews — known as Task Force Rattlesnake — have been deployed to Los Angeles as part of Trump's federalization of the Guard, according to Gov. Gavin Newsom.

A volley of court rulings has made the legal path unclear in a case challenging President Trump’s use of troops in Los Angeles. For now, the president has retained control of the state militia.

The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld a lower court’s decision to pause the return of control of the National Guard to Gov. Newsom.
