A federal judge ruled Tuesday that President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth violated federal law by using the US military to help carry out law enforcement activities in and around Los Angeles this summer.

“President Trump and Secretary Hegseth have stated their intention to call National Guard troops into service in other cities across the country,” Breyer wrote in his 52-page opinion, “… thus creating a national police force with the President as its chief.”

 
“The evidence at trial established that Defendants systematically used armed soldiers (whose identity was often obscured by protective armor) and military vehicles to set up protective perimeters and traffic blockades, engage in crowd control, and otherwise demonstrate a military presence in and around Los Angeles. In short, Defendants violated the Posse Comitatus Act,” Breyer wrote.
 
A criminal president that refuses to follow the law. This is where we are now.
 
§ 12406, the President may place a state's National Guard under federal command if (1) the United States is invaded, (2) there is a rebellion or danger of rebellion against federal authority, or (3) the President is unable to enforce federal law with existing forces.

The court says that doesnt apply. It was unconstitutional. Read.

Both false.

"(2) there is a rebellion or danger of rebellion against federal authority, or "

Zero evidence of that.

"(3) the President is unable to enforce federal law with existing forces."

Bullshit.

The fact that he is not sending them into places with worse crime rates like Nashville and Memphis, the sate of Louisiana, etc. Puts the lie to that.

ICE, Immigration and Customs Enforcement, investigates immigration and customs violations and enforces immigration law in the U.S. interior.

You need ask Trump and/or ICE about that. I'm just saying that's what I believe they are using.

and I asked for your opinion. We know what Trump / ICE is trying to use.

And.......there is no rebellion or danger of rebellion......and......no issue with the ability to enforce law at the local level.

Nice dodge though.

My opinion is that Trump/ICE don't feel they are receiving adequate local/State support for ICE to accomplish their job.

ICE is performing a Federal law function.

So what.

State and local authorities are not obligated by federal law to assist U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)

That would explain WHY the National Guard was brought in to assist.
 
A court order doesn't mean much, if it isn't followed.

That isnt a valid reason.

But hay, **** the constitution right. Its the MAGA way.

and that makes it an emergency?

Immigration is a federal issue not a State issue.
imo, Trump has failed to work with the State in asking for assistance in carrying out federal law regarding immigration.

Yeah, how dare Trump admin protect the lives and welfare of predominantly black and Latino LA citizens by doing what the Democrats OBVIOUSLY refuse to do, which is to deal with crime. Trump dramatically reduced crime in DC in just 10 days, simply by having natl guard be proactive by being a presence in high crime areas.

This proves beyond a shadow of a doubt that the Democrats could've reduced crime, but they are too busy hamstringing law enforcement, passing crime-friendly laws, releasing criminals within hours of arrest with little or no bail, and supporting radical Soros-funded prosecutors who keep undercharging or releasing dangerous criminals.

LA dems prevent police from arresting shoplifters unless they steal more than $500-$900 worth of goods, which has led to criminal gangs organizing mass theft inside stores! Then those stores pack up and leave, only for Democrats to accuse them of greed or racism for not just allowing their stores to be robbed!
