9th Circuit Vindicates Trump's National Guard Use During LA Riots

Federalizing the National Guard

• 🏛️ The 9th Circuit Court of Appeals swiftly blocked a lower court's ruling against President Trump's federalization of the California National Guard during the LA riots.
• ⚖️ Trump acted under statutory authority (10 USC 12406) and his constitutional role as commander-in-chief, citing the need to enforce federal laws and protect federal law enforcement, particularly ICE agents.
