Legal scholars say Trump’s memo authorizing the deployment of National Guard and Marines may stretch presidential powers beyond their limits

Trump's National Guard deployment to Los Angeles and recent comments signal more sweeping executive actions are possible. Is the Insurrection Act one of them?

Trump was asked by ABC News if he's prepared to use the 1807 Insurrection Act to curb protests against his immigration crackdown in Los Angeles. His answer: "It depends."

The National Guard has at times detained protesters in its deployment to Los Angeles, an official said Wednesday, as demonstrations against Immigration and Customs enforcement raids spread to other major cities.

President Trump issued a memo authorizing the National Guard to post up in Los Angeles, but California Gov. Gavin Newsom has called it "illegal."

President Donald Trump and Stephen Miller have repeatedly used the word “insurrection” to describe the protests in Los Angeles.

The National Guard was also called during the 1992 L.A. riots and the unrest that followed Martin Luther King Jr.’s assassination in 1968. Trump’s order was unlike any other.

On Tuesday, the X page for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) posted photos of California National Guardsmen on the scene of a detention being carried out by an ICE agent with the caption "Photos from today's ICE Los Angeles immigration enforcement operation."
