President Donald Trump’s deployment of 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles is stretching the legal limits of how the military can be used to enforce domestic laws on American streets, constitutional law experts say.
But Trump’s stated rationale, legal scholars say, appears to be a flimsy and even contrived basis for such a rare and dramatic step. The real purpose, they worry, may be to amass more power over blue states that have resisted Trump’s deportation agenda. And the effect, whether intentional or not, may be to inflame the tension in L.A., potentially leading to a vicious cycle in which Trump calls up even more troops or broadens their mission.
“It does appear to be largely pretextual, or at least motivated more by politics than on-the-ground need,” said Chris Mirasolo, a national security law professor at the University of Houston.

Violent riots in LA. Oh sorry, mostly peaceful protests that close highways, cause large amounts of damage and worst: release large amounts of CO2 into the area from the fires set.
ReplyDeleteWould Trump have sent in the army if there wasn't a large violent protest that the local authorities either couldn't or wouldn't shut down? Hardly.
What's next? Are you going to blame Britain for destroying Germany in 1945?
yes Trump would send in the army to show that he is the boss and to stir up more conflict that he insists only he can solve like he did in the ukraine etc etc.
