What is the legality of Trump's National Guard actions?

[jknowgood]

There isn't any. He needs the authority of Congress to use U.S. against U.S. and that has NOT been given. Nor has Governor Newsom requested such support. It is clear violation the Posse Comitatus Act as passed in 1878.

Newsom doesn't care about the safety of the citizens of his state for political reasons. So Trump has to step in and take care of it.

When rioters are waving the flags of other countries, that stops being a domestic matter and becomes an invasion. So yeah, call out the army, navy, air force AND especially marines to stop that shit.

Oh and don't forget the coast guard!

 

[drudge X]

Send in 5000 Marines

Here are the thoughts of a former Federal prosecutor on the legal issues with Trump's actions in Los Angeles. Will Trump next turn his ICE thugs loose on the protests on June 14? And then claim he has to invoke Martial Law because of the reaction in most major cities in the US? Are you Trumpanzees going to support this move from Trump to become the first dictator to rule the US?

Several Presidents have used it, including when Biden was installed at his “inauguration”. It's totally legal, no matter how much it hurts your feelings.

What is the legality of people coming here illegally? What is the legality of trying to stop the federal government from enforcing it's laws? What is the legality of rioting, the destruction of property, and assaulting law enforcement officers?​

 

[LeftofLeft]

Completely legal.

​

The President, by using the militia or the armed forces, or both, or by any other means, shall take such measures as he considers necessary to suppress, in a State, any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy, if it—​

​

...​

​

(2) opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.​

10 U.S. Code § 253 - Interference with State and Federal law

This is definitely legal. I wish people would stop using the term “insurrection”. This is clearly domestic violence and safety and welfare of US Citizens are at stake. The problem is that the far Left view this as “peaceful protest”. This is the same mindset that equated vandalizing the US Capitol with insurrection.

You have it backwards, Old Cocks.......ICE is the lawful agency sent to remove the illegal aliens and deal with the actual thugs.

 

[Lesh]

Probably legal but not well thought out.

My understanding is that the NG can only be called out if the Governor requests it and the actual active duty can do nothing without a declaration (official) of insurrection

Agreed. the only one you could call an insurrection is CHAZ/CHOP when they actually took over a parcel of land and stopped the lawful government from entering the area.

Wrong. If Federal laws are being broken and the agency responsible for enforcing them is inhibited, the guard can be nationalized, all they have to do is tell the governor it is happening.

How do you think Ike took control of the Alabama guard to go against Wallace, who was the governor at the time?

This

Which is what EVERYBODY knows.

They are still just pissed they lost in November.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Stop pretending that law enforcement is being called out against American citizens they aren’t. Law enforcement is being used against invading criminals that come waving flag of a foreign country promising conquest.

It's the fearful illegals that are trying to posture to avoid getting their sorry fanny's deported.

You should seek help

Trump used the same act, and used the part saying they can be used to backup enforcement of federal law.

 

[HikerGuy83]

Violation of the Posse Comitatus Act.

Trump will be told to stand them down tomorrow.

Want to bet?

What are you willing to put up to stand behind your stupid predictions?

Trump has NOT invoked the Insurrection Act.

Is Trump’s deployment of federal troops in California legal?

Under ordinary circumstances, federal troops would be deployed to aid or assist in state efforts, says Jeremy R. Paul, a professor of law.

Just so we are clear.

The FBI does not, and never has has the power to unilaterally usurp “permission” from te people’s representatives.

Not that Trash Patel knows the difference.
