President Trump's administration deployed U.S. Marines and National Guard troops to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against immigration policies. This move has sparked a debate over the legal grounds for deploying active-duty military domestically, with Trump stating that the deployment is necessary for law and order. However, experts argue that such actions exceed legal boundaries, as the president is typically expected to deploy the National Guard only during specific circumstances like rebellion or invasion. Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom has filed a lawsuit against this decision, challenging its legality.
Well, we're gonna have troops everywhere. The bar is what I think it is. If we see danger to our country and our citizens, we'll be very strong in terms of law and order.
The standard to dispatch the military to a state is not simply in the eye of the beholder. Legal circumstances limit the president's ability to deploy the military domestically.
