Trump's National Guard Deployment Sparks LA Protests and Legal Battle
Los Angeles erupts in protests after President Trump deploys National Guard following immigration raids. Tensions escalate as the California governor vows to sue the Trump administration over what he calls an abuse of power. The deployment of the National Guard and Marines raises questions about the division of powers between the federal and state governments. "It's just absurd," said the California attorney general, referring to the deployment of 2000 National Guard troops, of which only 300 are actively working. The situation highlights the complexities of federal response to state-level protests and the potential for legal challenges in the future. A former FBI and Department of Homeland Security officer weighed in, noting that the president's actions may be based on Article Two of the US Constitution.
