CHAOS in The Streets After Trump Sends National Guard
Its not the first time Trump has activated the National Guard to quell protests.
In 2020, he asked governors of several states to send troops to Washington, D.C. to respond to demonstrations that arose after George Floyd was killed by Minneapolis police officers.
This time, however, Trump is acting in OPPOSITION to Gov Newsom, who under normal circumstances would retain control and command of Californias National Guard.
While Trump said that federalizing the troops was necessary to address the lawlessness in California, the Democratic governor said the move was purposely inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
Generally, federal military forces are not allowed to carry out civilian law enforcement duties against U.S. citizens except in times of emergency.
An 18th century wartime law called the Insurrection Act is the main legal mechanism that a president can use to activate the military or National Guard during times of rebellion or unrest. But Trump didnt invoke the Insurrection Act on Saturday.
Instead, he relied on a similar federal law that allows the president to federalize National Guard troops under certain circumstances.
The National Guard is a hybrid entity that serves both state and federal interests. Often it operates under state command and control, using state funding. Sometimes National Guard troops will be assigned by their state to serve federal missions, remaining under state command but using federal funding.
The law cited by Trumps proclamation places National Guard troops under federal command. The law says that can be done under three circumstances.. When the U.S. is invaded or in danger of invasion; when there is a rebellion or danger of rebellion against the authority of the U.S. government, or when the President is unable to execute the laws of the United States, with regular forces.
But the law also says that orders for those purposes shall be issued through the governors of the States.
Notably, Trumps proclamation says the National Guard troops will play a supporting role by protecting ICE officers as they enforce the law, rather than having the troops perform law enforcement work.
The Insurrection Act and related laws were used during the Civil Rights era to protect activists and students desegregating schools. President Dwight Eisenhower sent the 101st Airborne to Little Rock, Arkansas, to protect Black students integrating Central High School after that states governor activated the National Guard to keep the students out.
George H.W. Bush used the Insurrection Act to respond to riots in Los Angeles in 1992 after the acquittal of white police officers who were videotaped beating Black motorist Rodney King.

'WE Pay The Bills' Trump Hit by Direct Threat From Gov. Gavin Newsom as Trump Targets California
Trump is reportedly considering a freeze on federal funding to the state of California BUT Gov. Gavin Newsom has hit back with a threat of his own.
'Californians pay the bills for the federal government,' wrote Newsom in a post to X on Friday.
'We pay over $80 BILLION more in taxes than we get back. Maybe its time to cut that off Donald Trump.
Its unclear exactly how California cutting off funding to the federal government would work, but likely the only way to accomplish what Newsom is suggesting is a widespread boycott of federal taxes by California residents, which would be fraught with legal complications
This comes after reports that Trump is looking into a large scale cancellation of federal funding to California in retaliation.
Trump has repeatedly butted heads with the popular governor of Americas most populous state...
HE would make a far BETTER President than treasonous DON Trump
