Federal Judges Intervene Against Trump's Deployment of National Guard

Federal judges are proactively blocking the President's attempts to deploy federal troops or national guard units in states like Oregon and Illinois, setting up key legal battles that will likely reach the Supreme Court.

Short Summary

  • Judges impose stays blocking the nationalization or deployment of state National Guard units based on insufficient legal justification (statute 12406).
  • Current judicial actions in Oregon and Illinois establish protective layers that will test the limits of executive authority as they move through appellate courts.
  • Deployment actions are proving extremely costly, with estimates suggesting hundreds of millions of taxpayer dollars spent on these displays of force.

This segment analyzes the ongoing legal maneuvers surrounding federal troop deployment authorization, focusing on Judge Immergut's extensions and the criteria for commandeering state militias. These rulings are crucial tests of federalism and presidential overreach.

Description

Federal Judges continue to issue orders to protect our democracy until Appellate Courts tell them to stop, and even then issue new orders. That's how we got Judge Immergut's new order extending her block of Trump's use of federal national guard troops in Portland while the appeal is still going on. The Legal AF podcast sorts it out.

Portland, Oregon here—born in Chicago, this authoritarian power grab is egregious. G-d willing it will be his downfall.

Not sure why they need the National Guard when ICE wears military gear and seem to not follow the law when it comes to assaulting individuals.
