A state’s #governor generally oversees his own #NationalGuard, but the president can #federalize & deploy #troops over objections under #Title10 of federal #law. It permits the president to issue orders to National Guard members if there is a “rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the government.” [which is not the case]

@TexasObserver Correction: He was deported because he was BROWN. Guilty of not being white in America.
More of Trump's racist bullshit. And yes #Texas , your #racist #Governor is complicit!

#KristiNoem faced scrutiny for her #expenses when she served as #governor of #SouthDakota. She spent $68k in #taxpayer funds to refurbish the governor’s mansion with a sauna, chandelier & other amenities, the Sioux Falls Argus Leader reported in 2021. And South Dakota picked up the tab for at least $150k in campaign & personal travel for Noem related to her security when she was governor, the AP reported this year.

The proposal being evaluated now would allow the president to mobilize #troops & put them on #Title32 orders in a #state experiencing unrest. The documents detailing the plan acknowledge the potential for #political *friction* should the #governor refuse to work with the #Pentagon.

Some #legal scholars expressed *apprehension* about the proposal.
[I should think!]

The other kind, #Title32, is a #federal - #state status where #troops are controlled by their state #governor but federally funded. It also allows more latitude to participate in law enforcement missions. #NationalGuard troops from other states arrived in DC under such circumstances during racial justice #protests in 2020.

Harbourt also says the proclamation & deployment is against our "broader democratic tradition of separating the #military from #civilian affairs."

#DOJ Shumate has time again. He claims that the part of the #statute [#Title10] #Trump cited requiring him to act "through the governor" is satisfied if the #governor is merely “aware” of the order.
"Under their reading of the statute, Gov. Newsom can pocket veto the president’s orders."

Adjourned.

Harbourt argues that the plain text of the statute [#Title10] “through the governor” requires consent or at least consultation with the #governor for the president to federalize the #state #NationalGuard.

He also says other statutes such as the #InsurrectionAct exclude the phrase “through the governor” which implies congress intended a minimum of consultation.

Well, Prime Minister Goldman Sachs has wasted no time in establishing that he is an abject vassal of Washington

In this second term, Kelly, Esper & Milley are all gone, & #Trump feels freer to pursue his own instincts. In sending #troops to #LosAngeles, he federalized the #California #NationalGuard over the objections of #Governor #GavinNewsom, the first time any president has done so since the civil rights era. Trump has vowed that he will do the same elsewhere around the country if #protests *merit* it, raising the prospect of a wider #military presence in American #cities.
