In late Dec, #SCOTUS issued a temporary order blocking #Trump from carrying out the #Chicago deployment because, it said, the president’s ability to federalize the #NationalGuard likely applies only in “exceptional” circumstances. The ruling has called into question any broader plans by the admin to use #federal #troops domestically to respond to #civil unrest.
The deployments have cost >$496 million, the Congressional Budget Office reported in Jan. -
The deployments — including >5,000 troops to #LosAngeles, approximately 500 into #Chicago & 200 to #Portland, #Oregon — were ordered despite the vehement opposition from state & local leaders who labeled the #Trump admin’s actions an unlawful abuse of presidential authority. All of those service members were sent home by the end of January, according to US Northern Command.

It was a remarkable turnabout after #Trump [if he even knows about it] & #Defense Secy #Hegseth had insisted the mobilizations were necessary to combat what they claimed was unchecked violence & to support enforcement of the nation’s #immigration laws.

#NationalGuard troops were quietly withdrawn from some #US #cities
The deployments encountered repeated legal setbacks [because they were illegal] that stymied #Trump’s “show of force” [#coup attempts] in #LosAngeles, #Chicago & #Portland, Oregon.#law #state #governors #PosseComitatusAct

“At this preliminary stage, the government has failed to identify a source of #authority that would allow the #military to execute the laws in #Illinois,” the court said in its unsigned order.
And of course, Conservative Justices Samuel #Alito, #ClarenceThomas & Neil #Gorsuch dissented.

Not to judge anyone for their fetishes, but if you are turned on by Stephen Miller, shame on you, that's really sick

Rep #PeteAguilar asks #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth about the deployment of #NationalGuard troops to #LosAngeles, #California, & the verified news reports they do not have funding for #food, #water, #fuel or #lodging.
Then #Hegseth attacks #GavinNewsom & spouts tired #propaganda that #protesters are "rioters, looters & thugs" rather than people legally expressing their #FirstAmendment rights with the usual handful of opportunists joining in.
