A California federal judge has once again ruled that President Donald Trump’s use of the National Guard in Los Angeles was illegal. The judge stated that the troops were performing law enforcement duties that are prohibited for the military. For those of us who know our history and see the patterns, no president can do this because of the Posse Comitatus Act.
The ruling was made by U.S. District Judge Charles R. Breyer, who had previously ruled on the matter back in June, but that ruling was immediately overturned by an appeals court that allowed Trump to keep control of the troops. But this time around, Breyer’s 52-page ruling is a result of a trial he held last month to take a look at the actions of the unit, Task Force 51, that was stationed in Los Angeles.
