"President Donald Trump is trying to deploy National Guard members to cities across the United States in what he says is an attempt to combat "the war from within." Some Republican mayors and governors have embraced the deployments. But the effort is facing blowback in the courts, and the pushback from Democratic officials is strong. California has sued over the deployment of troops to Los Angeles."
"A judge ruled the decision to send troops to that city illegal but allowed the deployment while litigation continues. The number of Guard troops in Los Angeles has been reduced from initial levels. Louisiana requested federal assistance to deploy the National Guard after Trump floated the idea. Trump has also said he may seek to send the National Guard or other federal resources to Baltimore, New York or San Francisco."
