Who Controls the National Guard: An Explainer
President Trump has deployed or threatened to deploy the National Guard to the U.S. to enforce immigration law and respond to protests.
The deployment of National Guard troops is a complex issue with a rich history and specific legal authorities. In June, President Donald Trump issued an executive order authorizing the federal deployment of state National Guard troops, citing incidents where protesters were preventing federal agents from enforcing immigration law.
Following the executive order, California National Guard troops were sent to Los Angeles under the direction of federal officials.
Ultimately, about 4,000 troops from the California National Guard and 700 U.S. Marines were deployed to Los Angeles, according to CalMatters.
This deployment has led to ongoing legal fights over Trump's use of National Guard troops.
