Legal experts said Trump can deploy federal agents to enforce federal laws, but lacks carte blanche.
“The president is not the king,” said Kent Greenfield, a Boston
College law professor specializing in constitutional law. “The president
does not have the ability to require states to enforce their laws in a
certain way, or to elbow aside their law enforcement abilities.”
Federal
law gives Acting Secretary of Homeland Security Chad Wolf power to
deputize agents to protect federal properties, such as the federal
courthouse in Portland, and people there.
White House Press
Secretary Kayleigh McEnany said on Tuesday that this enforcement power
may extend beyond the physical boundaries of federal properties.
