These unlawful deployments have already proven to be a deeply inflammatory and unnecessary provocation.

The federalized National Guard and active-duty Marines deployed in Los Angeles will engage in quintessential law enforcement activity in violation of the PCA.

Defendants, including President Trump and Secretary of Defense Hegseth have sought to bring military personnel and a ‘warrior culture’ to the streets of cities and towns where Americans work, go to school and raise their families.

There is no invasion or rebellion in Los Angeles, only the kind of civil unrest that occurs from time to time that is typically the purview of local law enforcement.

Let me be clear: There is no invasion. There is no rebellion. The President is trying to manufacture chaos and crisis on the ground for his own political ends.

There is no invasion. There is no rebellion.

President Trump's order calling federalized National Guard troops into Los Angeles — over the objections of the Governor and local law enforcement — is unnecessary and counterproductive.
