Appeals court likely to keep Trump in control of national guard deployed in LA

A federal appeals court on Tuesday seemed ready to keep Donald Trump in control of California national guard troops after they were deployed following protests in Los Angeles over immigration raids.

Last week, a district court ordered the US president to return control of the guard to Democratic governor Gavin Newsom, who had opposed their deployment. US district judge Charles Breyer said Trump had deployed the Guard illegally and exceeded his authority. But the administration quickly appealed and a three-judge appellate panel temporarily paused that order.

Tuesday’s hearing was about whether the order could take effect while the case makes its way through the courts, including possibly the supreme court.

It’s the first time a US president has activated a state national guard without the governor’s permission since 1965, and the outcome of the case could have sweeping implications for Trump’s power to send soldiers into other US cities. Trump announced on 7 June that he was deploying the guard to Los Angeles to protect federal property following a protest at a downtown detention center after federal immigration agents arrested dozens of immigrants without legal status across the city. Newsom said Trump was only inflaming the situation and that troops were not necessary.

Need an en banc ruling.

1. LA is MAGA occupied.

3. It won't stop at LA

once Krasnov gains control of every state's National Guard. Shit, he may not need permission at this stage seeing as he controls California's Guard the other blue states will be next.

Krasnov better save some of those Marines if he decides to join in the Iran war.

5. Yes, LA is just the warm up act.

They are going to "liberate" cities from elected Dem leadership.

2. Okay

I wonder what those judges are going to do when Trump sends in troops to remove them?

[gab13by13]

4. A better question to ask

is what will the courts, including the SC do when Krasnov ignores them?

[wolfie001]

6. Is this fake police/military action going to go on for the next 4 years?

Clown judges will fuck things up even worse. Voting Democratic is going to be a crime in the future? Fascist pigs.

8. There won't be elections,

Congress has no power now to stop Krasnov.

10. Ah, but without midterm elections, the House and Senate will lose all the members who have to be reelected.

They won’t be able to open a new session.

12. Actually what you said wiil benefit TSF.

That's my thinking. We NEED a congress after midterms.

[LauraInLA]

13. True, but I don't think it will happen.

7. MSM reporting on this has been deplorable... this decision is JUST on continuing the stay...

--and yes, it needs an en banc decision (full court, rather than the 3-judge panel).

9. Hey courts did you ever read about the history of the American Revolution..................maybe you need to revisit

that time period...........this country and the revolutionaries fought against a fucking King............for starters..........and as for the MSM you do realize why you have a 1st Amendment right .............it was because of the Revolutionary War.................. Ben Franklin and Thomas Paine are rolling over in there graves because of the shit show you people are doing .................you basically worship a fucking tyrant..............................JFC

11. This is unconstitutional and against the law! Why the f..k are they allowing this? Did he pay the judges?

The state of California has got to appeal this!
If he wins this, which there is nothing that gives him the legal authority to do so, he will do this all over the country…very very dangerous!
