Trump Deploys Troops to LA Without Governor's Consent | JQJO

President Trump deployed 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without Governor Newsom's consent to quell anti-immigration protests, marking the first such deployment since 1965 without a governor's request. This unprecedented move is based on a little-used statute (10 U.S.C. 12406), allowing troop deployment in cases of rebellion against the US government. California is suing the administration, arguing the president exceeded his authority and the situation doesn't warrant military intervention. The Insurrection Act, usually invoked in such situations, hasn't been used. Experts warn this could escalate and potentially expand beyond Los Angeles.
