Is not targeting the violent bad guys, but rounding up people indiscriminately. Like cattle. They are not working with local police. Two broken Trump promises.
Trump acted illegally because he wants confrontation. Create chaos then put the fire out. That's what authoritarian strongmen do. Trump wants little more than to be able to act like a ruthless dictator.
Trump Just Hijacked California’s National Guard. I’m a Lawyer, and I’m Telling You—This Is a Full-Blown Constitutional Crisis [...] Trump’s Power Grab Has No Legal Ground
There was no emergency. No crisis. No breakdown of local control. Despite that, Trump ordered 2,000 National Guard troops into federal service, without the Governor’s sign-off and with no coordination with local law enforcement. That’s not how it works. Not legally. Not constitutionally. Not in the United States of America.
Under the law, the president can’t take over a state’s militia unless certain conditions are met. There must be an actual rebellion or an invasion. Not a protest. Not public outcry. Not community outrage at unjust ICE raids. But that’s exactly what was happening in Los Angeles: people were standing up and speaking out, peacefully for the most part, after aggressive, unannounced federal raids tore through their neighborhoods.
Instead of respecting that process, or better yet, backing off, Trump decided to escalate. He triggered military involvement that wasn’t needed, wasn’t asked for, and wasn’t authorized. [...] On June 6, ICE started sweeping through Los Angeles like it was a war zone. They made arrests with zero local coordination. Children were detained. Families were torn apart. The raids sparked protests, just as any community would respond to overreach and cruelty. These protests weren’t riots. They were the sound of democracy, people demanding answers and accountability.
And while a few incidents required police intervention, local and state authorities had the situation under control. The streets were calming down by the time federal troops were deployed. No one asked for soldiers. No one needed them. Trump just sent them anyway. Then he went online and tried to spin the whole thing as an uprising. In my opinion, it was nothing more than a staged excuse to grab power and look tough.
The Legal Case Is Clear: Trump Is Breaking the Rules
The law Trump is hiding behind—10 U.S.C. § 12406—has rarely been used. It’s meant for real, legitimate emergencies. Not a PR stunt. Not a made-for-TV moment. Not a photo op with soldiers in uniform. The last time this statute was used alone, Nixon called up the Guard to deliver mail during a strike. Before that, Johnson used it to protect civil rights marchers from racist violence. There’s no comparison to what’s happening in Los Angeles today.
Yes, Sen. Schiff, hypocritically you have Kash Patel, Donald Trump saying "violence against law enforcement is never accepted", yes we do agree with that but Jan 6, and Trump's pardons of those insurrectionists, is clear proof they don't believe what they say.
