President Donald Trump has signed a presidential memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to disperse protests over immigration activity in the Los Angeles area, the White House said in a statement Saturday night.
I thought the President controlled the US Military but State Guards were authorized by the Gov? Surely Trump isn’t overstepping gave a Newsome because he thinks it gave him. Newsome is part of the problem, right?
A lot of National Guard armories are stocked mostly with federal assets too. It’s supposed to be a two way agreement between the state and the federal government. But with all the loopholes being poked into the Posse Comitatus Act it’s quickly turning into a one way deal not in favor of the states.

The president can mobilize the national guard of a state within that state, so what Trump doing is legal for all that matters.

Newsom is a neoliberal, but the lesser evil at the very least.
