Court Challenges Trump's Troop Deployment to LA | JQJO

The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is reviewing President Trump's deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles during protests. The court questioned the president's assertion of near-unlimited authority to deploy the military domestically. A lower court ruling ordering the return of National Guard control to California is currently paused. The case challenges the limits of presidential power, with the administration arguing its actions were necessary to quell "rebellion" and protect federal agents. California officials contend the deployment was unjustified and politically motivated, harming democratic norms. The appellate court's decision, expected soon, will likely be appealed to the Supreme Court.
