00:00Boos and cheers met US President Donald Trump when he attended his first production at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts.
00:08It's the institution he subjected to a conservative takeover earlier this year.
00:12The mixed reaction as Trump and First Lady Melania entered for a performance of Les Miserables on Wednesday, June 11, showed the heightened emotions unleashed by his overhaul of the Cultural Center.
00:23His visit came just days after he sent the US Marines and the National Guard troops to stop protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.
00:31Meantime, a US appeals court on Thursday allowed President Trump to maintain his deployment of troops in Los Angeles.
00:37The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals' decision does not mean that the court will agree with Trump, but for now, command of the Guard stays with the President.
00:45Earlier on Thursday, US District Judge Charles Bayer in San Francisco ruled that Trump's use of the Guard was illegal.
00:52He ordered the Guard be returned to the control of California Governor Gavin Newsom, who filed the case.
