California Gov. Gavin Newsom had a brief victory in his lawsuit against President Trump, but an appeals court quickly blocked a federal judge's order.

Senior U.S. District Court Judge Charles R. Breyer said he was “trying to figure out where the lines are drawn.”

A judge appeared poised to issue an order Thursday after hearing arguments over California’s request to limit the scope of the National Guard and Marines’ mission in Los Angeles as demonstrations continue over immigration enforcement operations.

About 700 Marines and more than 4,000 National Guard have been deployed at the cost of $134 million. William Deverell is a professor of history at USC’s Dornsife College of Letters, Arts and Sciences.

A military official said the Marines would be on the city’s streets on Wednesday. A federal judge was set to hear California’s request to limit the use of the soldiers.

AG Mayes and a coalition criticize the Trump administration's use of the California National Guard against protestors as unlawful and unconstitutional.

California officials argue that President Trump exceeded his authority by federalizing the National Guard without the consent of Gov. Gavin Newsom and by deploying Marines on American soil.

Democratic governors on Thursday slammed President Donald Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and Marines to California amid protests over the administration’s immigration enforcement policies.
