A federal appeals court on Thursday delayed an order requiring the Trump administration to return control of the California National Guard to Gov. Gavin Newsom, dealing the administration a temporary reprieve to what would have been a major reversal of its policy on the protests in LA.

Earlier Thursday, a federal judge in California issued a temporary restraining order that would have blocked Trump's deployment of California National Guard troops during protests over immigration raids in LA and returned control of the Guard to Newsom, who did not consent to the Guard's activation.

The order was set to take effect on noon Friday local time, but a panel of three judges on the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an administrative stay of the lower court’s order and set a hearing for June 17.

In a Friday morning post to Truth Social, Trump praised the appeals court's decision, saying once again, "If I didn’t send the Military into Los Angeles, that city would be burning to the ground right now."

During a press conference on Thursday, Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass addressed how Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was physically removed from Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference earlier in the day.

Bass said she has reached out to Padilla to express concern for his health and safety.

Addressing the incident, Bass said, "They've been threatening elected officials with arrests, and they just shoved and cuffed a sitting U.S. senator."

Bass highlighted that Padilla is the first Latino lawmaker to represent California in the U.S. Senate.

"He is not just any senator, he is the first Latino citizen senator," Bass said.

In a statement on X on Thursday, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino defended how Sen. Alex Padilla, D-Calif., was physically removed from the room by federal officers when he tried to interrupt Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem's news conference in Los Angeles.

Bongino alleged that Padilla was not wearing a security pin and "physically resisted law enforcement" during the incident.

"Our FBI personnel acted completely appropriately while assisting Secret Service and we are grateful for their professionalism and service," Bongino said.

Missouri Gov. Mike Kehoe announced in a press release on Thursday that he is activating the Missouri National Guard as a precaution amid "recent instances of civil unrest across the country."

The governor's actions come as anti-ICE protests have spread from Los Angeles to New York City, San Francisco, Boston, Austin, Texas and other cities across the U.S.

Ahead of President Donald Trump's Army parade in Washington, D.C., on Saturday, officials have warned of "No Kings" protests planned in cities across the country as well.

"We respect, and will defend, the right to peacefully protest, but we will not tolerate violence or lawlessness in our state. While other states may wait for chaos to ensue, the State of Missouri is taking a proactive approach in the event that assistance is needed to support local law enforcement in protecting our citizens and communities," Kehoe said in the statement.

Kehoe's statement did not mention specific planned protests the governor's office is monitoring or the protests in Los Angeles.

The coalition running the "No Kings" protests set for Saturday, however, is promoting protests in Missouri; the coalition has asked participants to keep the protests nonviolent and to de-escalate any confrontations between protesters and others.

More than 100 people were arrested on Monday night in Los Angeles, as "fringe groups" continued late-night protests, City of Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass said.

"What we're seeing downtown is just horrible, but you know that the majority of people that attended the protest this afternoon were peaceful," Bass told ABC News' KABC station in a phone interview late Monday night.

She said the more-violent protesting and vandalism were happening "late at night," adding that she assumed violent protests weren't being led by people supporting immigrants, but rather by "fringe groups."

"It's my understanding that over 100 people have been arrested tonight, the majority of them for unlawful assembly," she said.

She said each of those who were arrested would be "evaluated," including checking to see whether they have active warrants.

"But, again, this has nothing to do with the protests that happened earlier this afternoon," Bass said. "That was a protest -- fighting for the rights of immigrants and calling for the raids to stop."
