~ In a historic ruling, the federal court has put an end to the illegal federalization of the National Guard after President Trump finally gave up. This decision was made after Governor Gavin Newsom directed leadership to quickly send soldiers back home to their families.

The long-standing battle between the state and federal government over the control of the California National Guard has finally come to an end. President Trump, Attorney General Pam Bondi, and Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth have all backed down in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, leading to the return of the National Guard to state command and control.

Governor Newsom expressed his relief at this decision, stating that they have always maintained that the federalization of the National Guard in California is illegal. He also criticized President Trump for deploying these brave men and women against their own communities without regard for the constitution and federal law.

With this ruling, California can now welcome back its National Guard servicemembers who were deployed in an American city against American citizens. Governor Newsom has directed leadership to work quickly in demobilizing these soldiers from federal service and returning them home to their families.

This victory for California comes after a 6-3 ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court in favor of Illinois in a similar case. Governor Newsom had also filed a brief in support of Illinois in that case.

The recent order by Judge Charles Breyer, which directed the Trump Administration to end its takeover of the California National Guard, has also played a crucial role in this decision. The Ninth Circuit Court has allowed this ruling to take effect, further solidifying California's victory.

In other news, Governor Newsom announced that starting January 1st, a new set of laws will take effect in California. These laws will impact various aspects such as healthcare, housing, workplaces, schools, technology, and corporate disclosure requirements.

Additionally, following the devastating fires in Los Angeles earlier this year, Governor Newsom issued an emergency proclamation to fast-track wildfire prevention projects. Today, he extended a key provision of this proclamation to continue the momentum in protecting more communities across the state.

As California looks towards the new year, it can celebrate this victory for its National Guard and look forward to the implementation of new laws that will benefit its citizens.
