The Department of Justice has argued that courts cannot deny the president's ability to federally enlist militia in an attempt to justify President Donald Trump's mobilization of the National Guard against protestors in Los Angeles, California.
During a hearing at the 9th Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals on Tuesday, DOJ representatives attempted to convince a three-judge panel to approve an emergency stay of a lower court order, hence permitting Trump's deployment of the National Guard to Los Angeles, CBS News reported.
