Appeals court temporarily lifts Trump LA National Guard deployment limits

A federal appeals court panel on Thursday temporarily lifted a judge’s order that limited the operations of National Guard troops President Trump activated in Los Angeles.

The terse order from the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals indicated it is only to provide the panel more time to rule on the administration’s request for an indefinite pause and does not reflect a decision on the merits of the case.

U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ruled Tuesday that the National Guard troops were violating the Posse Comitatus Act, an 1878 law that generally bars federal military troops from participating in civilian law enforcement.

Breyer did not force the troops in Los Angeles to leave and permitted them to continue protecting federal property. But the judge limited the troops’ ability to go elsewhere to make arrests and conduct certain other operations.

Slowly but inevitable, the courts are shaping the presidency into a dictatorship.
Especially now that the US military are Mango Mussolini's personal Nazi army that murders people for him and we have armed troops authorized to murder Americans, occupying our nation's capital, we are in a very bad place America.
