Nasty Girls sent to LA


LOS ANGELES (AP) — Law enforcement authorities fired tear gas on a group of protesters gathered in Los Angeles on Sunday, hours after President Donald Trump deployed the National Guard to the city in an effort to quell recent unrest against federal immigration authorities.

The confrontation broke out as hundreds of people protested in front of the Metropolitan Detention Center in downtown Los Angeles, where several of the newly-arrived National Guard troops stood shoulder to shoulder behind plastic riot shields.

Video showed uniformed officers shooting off the smoke-filled canisters as they advanced into the street, causing protesters to retreat. It was not immediately clear what prompted the use of chemical irritants or which law enforcement agency fired them.

Around 300 National Guard troops arrived in Los Angeles early Sunday on orders from Trump, who accused Gov. Gavin Newsom and other Democrats of failing to stanch recent protests targeting immigration agents.

Nothing ever happens.
 
"The authority that the president cites to only allow for the deployment of the National Guard by the president when there's an invasion by a foreign nation, which there's not, when there's a rebellion to overturn leadership of the United States of America, which there's not, or when the regular forces of the federal government cannot execute the law, which is also not present," Bonta said.

The lawsuit also argues that the state's governor is the commander in chief of the Guard and must consent to its federalization. Newsom has not done so, and has "strenuously objected" to it, the state's top prosecutor said.
they may be right, the courts could rule against the big T

trump loves skating the outer reaches of legality
The Act originally applied only to the United States Army, but a subsequent amendment in 1956 expanded its scope to the United States Air Force. In 2021, the National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2022 further expanded the scope of the Act to cover the United States Navy, Marine Corps, and Space Force. The Act does not prevent the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state's governor. The United States Coast Guard (under the Department of Homeland Security) is not covered by the Act either, primarily because although it is an armed service, it also has a maritime law enforcement mission.
