Despite comments made by Donald Trump just now (“we’ll see”), the US military is set to temporarily deploy about 700 Marines to Los Angeles while additional National Guard troops arrive in the city, a US official has told Reuters.
The official, speaking on the condition of anonymity, said a battalion would be sent, but for now, the Insurrection Act is not expected to be invoked.
The official added that the situation was fluid and could change.
Yeah honestly. Instead of just suing the administration, why hasn’t he given the national guard contravening orders to stand down? If Trump’s orders are indeed illegal then that’s seems to me like a perfectly reasonable thing to do.
