How can it be legal for national guard troops to be sent from one state to another when a governor never requested it?

Seems like a legal slam dunk, but there I go again thinking we're in normal times. Trump sending the Texas National guard to Chicago when Gov. Pritzker never asked Abbot to do is beyond outrageous.

1. But Trump owns the SCOTUS and 98% of the news media. nt

2. There are cases where it can happen

Think of the Little Rock Nine

In that case the president didn’t just command the state guard without the governor’s approval… it was in direct opposition to the governor trying to use the guard in the opposite direction.

But they have to either be aiding the enforcement of federal law or protecting federal interests (e.g., property)

3. Which is why I fear

the regime will win this one. They will claim they aiding the ICE agents as they conduct their raids.

4. That's my assumption as well...

… but this is a Trump-appointed judge. So there’s bound to be nuance that I haven’t read

5. The State's NG all have agreements to be federalized.

In exchange the NG gets military equipment and supplies for a small fee.

6. Texas wants its sovereignty but doesn't mind infringing on others.

One day, I hope they get their comeuppance.
