As members of a federal appeals court review what role courts should have in overseeing U.S. President Donald Trump’s authority to deploy the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid protests and civil unrest, members of the California National Guard are on duty.
"These soldiers, we are National Guard soldiers, we live in this state, " Us Army Command Sgt. Maj. Richard Aller, Senior Enlisted Advisor Of 79Th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, California Army National Guard, told Reuters TV.
Trump’s decision to send troops into Los Angeles prompted a national debate about the use of the military on U.S. soil and inflamed political tensions in a city in the midst of protest and turmoil over the president’s immigration raids.
The administration argues that the law gives the president sole discretion to determine whether a "rebellion or danger of a rebellion" requires a military response, and that neither the courts nor a state governor can second-guess that determination.
California’s lawsuit, filed on June 9, argues that Trump’s deployment of the National Guard and the Marines violate the state’s sovereignty and U.S. laws that forbid federal troops from participating in civilian law enforcement.
The Trump administration has denied that troops are engaging in law enforcement, saying that they were instead protecting federal buildings and personnel, including U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers.
