Technically, without permission from the governor, Trump cannot commandeer the NG. Newsome should order his troops to stand down, or to stand with California against federal storm troops.

Thank you for clarifying that force is/was being used against peaceful protestors. I keep reading reminders that we need to remain peaceful and not engage physically but what’s not being said enough is that peaceful protesters-resistors are being assaulted as part of these ICE raids anyways! Stay safe and stand your ground and record what you can. The tide will turn eventually and justice will prevail.

“This wasn’t Portland 2020.” ??

This is EXACTLY what happened in Portland in 2020. Not NG, but police instigating violence with round up arrests, tear gas and rubber bullets.

This key fact is being overlooked in much of the coverage. By law, before President trump can deploy troops, he’s required to issue a formal proclamation of insurrection under chapter 13 of Title 10 §254.

Chapter 13 of Title 10, § 254 states:

“Whenever the President considers it necessary to use the militia or the armed forces under this chapter, he shall, by proclamation, immediately order the insurgents to disperse and retire peaceably to their abodes within a limited time.”

Well, what do people believe who only get their information from Fox News?

That thought is scary.

What do you think is going to happen in DC on June 14? Are the weapons in the parade loaded with ammo?

Should we be concerned for members of Congress?

Gil Scott-Heron may have been completely wrong. The revolution probably will be televised. 😐

This isn’t law & order—it’s authoritarian creep.

Troops on CA streets. No consent. No oversight.📢 Here’s what happened & how to fight back:👉 https://shorturl.at/vbrD0

Share. Write. Act.

Think about it, be wiser and truthful..

that Trump & Administration wouldn't have to go after illegal immigrant “criminals” IF the DEMs under Biden/Harris/ Obama/Left-wing hadn’t purposely for political reasons broken our Immigration laws “on the books”..to gain voters later, juice up the census figures by changing representation numbers in Congress, alter the societal makeup of inner America that was too patriotic & God-fearing and to change our Founders sucessful ideology..

to one espoused by the DEMs Left which frightingly looked & acted for 4 years like a combination of Socialism, Marxism & Communism coupled with Law-fare and political arrests.

Americans voted No thank you!!

Now, the illegals that are Criminals are the first to go with no help of course from the treasonous DEMs..interesting the Political Party of the the KKK, Jim Crowers, Communists and Racists who used the longest Congressional filabuster in mid 60’s to deprive Black Americans of their rights so the Republicans helped pass the Civil Rights Bill and DEM LBJ signed it into law.
