There is a lot of disinformation coming out of the Left about a President's authority to nationalize, mobilize and deploy National Guardsmen. Let's clear some things up. A U.S. president can deploy National Guard troops without a governor's request under specific circumstances defined by federal law, primarily through the Insurrection Act of 1807 (10 USC §§ 251–255) and other legal provisions. Here are the key scenarios: - Insurrection or Rebellion: Under the Insurrection Act, the president can deploy the National Guard (or other federal forces) to suppress an insurrection or rebellion against federal authority if it obstructs the execution of federal laws or threatens the government's stability. This can occur without a governor’s request, as the Act prioritizes federal supremacy (e.g., 10 U.S.C. § 252). - Domestic Violence or Unlawful Obstruction: If a state is unable to maintain order due to domestic violence or other crises, and this prevents the enforcement of federal or state laws, the president can act unilaterally to restore order (10 U.S.C. § 253). This applies when a governor cannot or will not request assistance. - National Emergency or Federalized Situations: The president can federalize the National Guard under Title 10 of the U.S. Code (e.g., 10 U.S.C. § 12406) during a national emergency declared by the president or Congress, such as in response to a major disaster, terrorist attack, or other crisis threatening national security. - Enforcement of Federal Law: If a state’s actions (or inaction) violate federal law or constitutional rights (e.g., civil rights protections), the president can deploy the National Guard to enforce compliance, as seen in historical cases like the desegregation of schools in the 1950s and 1960s (e.g., Little Rock, Arkansas, 1957). Given these citations, President Trump is well within his right to not only mobilizr National Guardsmen, but active duty US military. So, the protestations by Gavib Newsom and California's AG, along with congressional Democrats is not only in grotesque error, it's disingenuous bullshit. #LARiots #Trump #NationalGuard #USMilitary #IllegalImmigration #ICE #Deportations #UnlawfulAssembly
