They're saying this isn't an LA deployment of the National Guard, but country-wide deployment according to his memo.
The memo doesn’t mention any state or specific National Guard units, and while it says Guard troops will be in federal service for 60 days, the duration is ultimately “at the discretion of the Secretary of Defense.”
“The idea that you can delegate the Secretary of Defense this authority to deploy the National Guard across the country is a use of these powers that I don’t believe we’ve seen before,” Chris Mirasola, a national security law professor at University of Houston Law Center, told Democracy Docket.
Trump’s memo attempts to justify mobilization by asserting ongoing rebellion against the government, citing unspecified “incidents of violence and disorder.” It specifically categorizes “protests or acts of violence” that inhibit the execution of the laws as a form of rebellion.
This is alarming in light of the Department of Justice (DOJ) recently alleging that speech can inhibit the execution of laws. It charged David Huerta, the president of one of the largest unions in the country, with conspiring to impede an officer — a felony — for protesting an Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) raid at a private business June 6.
