What To Know About Trump Deploying National Guard To L.A. Immigration Protests

What To Know About Trump Deploying National Guard To L.A. Immigration Protests
SHARE

President Donald Trump has announced the deployment of 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles to address immigration protests, despite objections from California Governor Gavin Newsom. This move is in contrast to previous instances where National Guard troops were activated by Trump to respond to protests, such as during the demonstrations following George Floyd’s death in 2020.

The legal framework surrounding the deployment of troops on U.S. soil is somewhat ambiguous. While federal military forces are generally prohibited from engaging in civilian law enforcement activities, an 18th-century law known as the Insurrection Act allows the president to activate the military or National Guard during times of rebellion or unrest. In this case, Trump did not invoke the Insurrection Act but instead relied on a similar federal law that permits the federalization of National Guard troops under specific circumstances.

The role of the National Guard troops in Los Angeles will be limited to supporting ICE officers in enforcing the law, rather than engaging in direct law enforcement activities. This decision was made to ensure compliance with legal restrictions on the National Guard’s involvement in civilian law enforcement.

Historically, the Insurrection Act has been utilized to protect activists and students during the Civil Rights era and to respond to riots, such as those in Los Angeles in 1992. While National Guard troops have been mobilized for various emergencies, including natural disasters, the current deployment in Los Angeles represents a unique situation due to the federalization of the troops against the wishes of the state governor.

President Trump’s willingness to use the military on home soil has been demonstrated in previous instances, such as his call for governors to deploy National Guard troops to Washington, D.C. during protests in 2020. While Trump did not invoke the Insurrection Act during his first term, he has indicated a willingness to do so in the future to suppress violence and enforce immigration goals.

As the situation in Los Angeles unfolds, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has suggested that additional measures, including the mobilization of active duty Marines, may be considered if violence persists. This development highlights the complex legal and political considerations surrounding the deployment of military forces on U.S. soil.
