@washingtonpost: President Donald Trump’s order to deploy 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles appears unprecedented, relying on an unorthodox use of a law aimed at quelling serious domestic unrest or an attack on the United States by a foreign power, some legal experts said Sunday. It marks the first time in about 60 years that an American president has taken such action without a governor’s consent. Furthermore, his executive order authorizes the Pentagon to dispatch military personnel domestically to enable federal functions and protect government property — a chilling sign, the experts said, that Trump is prepared to send troops into other cities in response to protests. “That is completely unprecedented under any legal authority,” said Elizabeth Goitein, senior director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. “The use of the military to quell civil unrest is supposed to be an absolute last resort.” Caption from article by Justin Jouvenal and Alex Horton.

Fun fact: the President absolutely used the national guard without governor authority. See: the Little Rock nine. When the President enforced desegregation

in 1996 bill clinton signed his immigration reform act that stated illegals could deported without judicial hearings so if this is really about due process and the constitution talk to him
