Trump Weighs Insurrection Act Over LA Protests

Trump Weighs Insurrection Act Over LA Protests
SHARE

President Donald Trump has suggested the possibility of invoking the Insurrection Act amidst ongoing protests in Los Angeles against immigration raids and the deployment of National Guard troops by his administration. The Act grants the president authority to suppress rebellion or unrest by utilizing the military, a significant escalation of actions in California. Following protests and raids in downtown Los Angeles, Trump deployed 300 National Guard troops to the area. The Department of Homeland Security reported assaults on ICE officers and damage to taxpayer-funded property by rioters.

Protests in LA resulted in injuries to LAPD officers and arrests made by law enforcement. Trump signed a proclamation mobilizing the Guard to respond to the demonstrations, citing interference with the execution of federal immigration laws. Tensions escalated, prompting the Pentagon to prepare to send 500 U.S. Marines to Los Angeles.

While Trump’s proclamation does not directly invoke the Insurrection Act, it does utilize Title 10 to federalize the National Guard under specific circumstances. California Governor Gavin Newsom and LA Mayor Karen Bass have objected to the federalization of the Guard, with Newsom planning to sue the administration. The Act is typically invoked to deploy the military in domestic rebellions or uprisings.

The Insurrection Act, a combination of statutes enacted from 1792 to 1871, allows the president to use the military to quell domestic unrest. Its invocation suspends the Posse Comitatus Act, which prohibits military involvement in local law enforcement. The Act has been invoked 30 times in history, with the last instance occurring in 1992 during riots in Los Angeles.

The president can deploy troops under the Insurrection Act without state approval, citing reasons like enforcing federal law or quelling violent unrest. The Act’s provisions are vague, allowing for interpretation that could extend to the use of military force against individuals conspiring to break the law.

Overall, the Insurrection Act grants the president significant power to address domestic unrest, bypassing the need for congressional approval in certain situations.
