The hearing comes after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals granted a request by the administration last week to temporarily pause a lower court order that directed President Donald Trump to return control of the soldiers to the governor who filed a lawsuit over the deployment.

Federal appeals court blocks California's National Guard victory over Trump, escalating constitutional crisis between president and governor.

The court said it would hold a hearing on the matter on June 17. The ruling came only hours after a federal judge's order was to take effect at noon Friday.
