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.

California's National Guard firefighting crews are at 40% capacity due to a deployment ordered by former President Trump, affecting the state's fire response as peak season arrives.

The unanimous order from a three-judge panel for the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit is a victory for the president and allows for the continued deployment of roughly 4,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles, where they have been protecting federal property and U.S. immigration agents during enforcement operations.
