  1. Judge Breyer’s temporary restraining order [#TRO] concerned only the #NationalGuard & whether it was lawful for #Trump to mobilize them under #federal control. At the hearing on Friday, he is also set to address a #state request to limit #troops under federal control to guarding federal buildings, & to bar them from accompanying #ICE agents on the #workplace #raids that sparked the #protests.

    US court lets #Trump retain control of #California #NationalGuard for now

    A US appeals court let Trump late Thurs retain control over CA's National Guard while the state's #Democratic #governor proceeds with a lawsuit challenging the legality of the #Republican president's use of the #troops to *quell* #protests & unrest in #LosAngeles.

  3. #Trump has stacked the #DOJ & the #Pentagon with personal #loyalists, & has tended to bypass the Office of Legal Counsel [#OLC] — the institution traditionally responsible for vetting the legality of executive actions. Although the standard guidelines & procedures for past #domestic deployments remain on the books, there is substantial reason to doubt that the civilian leadership will follow them.

  4. And the #Marines were held in reserve on several occasions: after #MLK won his battle against Bull Connor in the 1963 #Birmingham, #Alabama, campaign for #desegregation of downtown stores, during which firebombings of a #CivilRights headquarters & King’s brother’s hotel room had sparked riots, & during the 1963 #MarchOnWashington.

  5. Leadership & #lawyers at the #DOJ & the #Pentagon, & leadership in the #ArmedServices, worked closely w/ senior officers in the #Army to develop standing operating procedures & situation-specific #RulesOfEngagement aimed at minimizing the #UseOfForce.

  6. By contrast, people remember the #KentState #massacre of 1970 because it was a bloody failure by the #NationalGuard, during which 4 #students were #killed. Indeed, during this period, many #police & National Guard units responded to unrest with heavy-handed tactics that resulted in many #civilian injuries & #fatalities.

  7. The 12 years spanning 1957 to 1968 were a period of great societal tumult & revolution, especially over #race & the #VietnamWar. Of the 8 deployments, 2 were to enforce #desegregation court orders, most famously at #LittleRock, #Arkansas, in 1957. 4 were to quell riots, 3 of which were part of the numerous outbreaks across the country that followed the #assassination of #MartinLutherKingJr in 1968.

  8. Harbourt also says the proclamation & deployment is against our "broader democratic tradition of separating the #military from #civilian affairs."

    #DOJ Shumate has time again. He claims that the part of the #statute [#Title10] #Trump cited requiring him to act "through the governor" is satisfied if the #governor is merely “aware” of the order.
    "Under their reading of the statute, Gov. Newsom can pocket veto the president’s orders."

    Adjourned.

  9. 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.

  10. “This is what happens when the president & (Secy of #Defense #PeteHegseth) demand the #NationalGuard state assets deploy immediately with no plan in place … (&) no federal funding available for #food, #water, #fuel & #lodging,” the source said. “This is really the failure of the #FederalGovernment. If you’re going to federalize these #troops, then take care of them.”

  11. The activation of #Marines came the same day #California sued the #Trump admin over the deployment of #NationalGuard #troops in #LosAngeles.

    In their lawsuit, California #Governor #GavinNewsom & state AG Rob Bonta said Trump's activation of the Guard violated the #10thAmendment of the US #Constitution because Newsom did not ask for the #troops.

  12. Foam projectiles fired into the crowd of #protesters littered the ground outside a downtown detention center where a crowd has been growing since the morning.

    Tensions are escalating in one area of the protest, where a line of #LosAngeles #police officers are separating the crowd. “Love thy neighbor,” one protester yelled.

  13. The #troops deploying to the #LosAngeles area are from the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team of the #California #NationalGuard, United States Northern Command said in a post on social media. #USNorthCom said that some of the troops were already on the ground. A #Northcom spokeswoman said more information would be provided soon.
