A federal appeals court ruled Thursday that President Trump can continue using California National Guard troops in Los Angeles to respond to social unrest sparked by far-left NGOs, while a legal challenge over the president's authority proceeds. The ruling temporarily stays a lower court's decision that declared the deployment illegal without California's consent.
In a unanimous 38-page ruling, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit stated that President Trump acted within his legal authority under statutes permitting the federalization of the National Guard, deploying roughly 4,100 National Guard troops and 700 active-duty U.S. Marines to protect federal property and support immigration enforcement operations.
When you see the photos and videos coming out of LA, it’s important to remember that Democrats are literally FUNDING it.
