Court: National Guard Police Actions in California Illegal

Tuesday, September 02, 2025

A federal judge on Tuesday barred President Donald Trump from deploying National Guard troops in California to execute law-enforcement actions there, including making arrests, searching locations, and crowd control. The ruling came in connection with a lawsuit by the state of California challenging Trump's deployment of the Guard to deal with protests in Los Angeles over the Trump administration's immigration enforcement policies. Judge Charles Breyer said that Trump's deployment of the troops violated the federal Posse Comitatus Act.

Are guard members trained on local and state laws and law enforcement policies? Have they been trained on respecting the civil rights of detainees? Why would anyone think they should be used from law enforcement without such training?

Of course it's illegal.

Dear Leader thinks he is above the law and violates it regularly.

And maga morons cheer him on.

He told us he was gonna do it. Everyone told him it was against the law the constitution everything that America stands for. He did it anyway and we now have to prove him wrong over and over and over in a court of Law because Congress is not doing its job or its duty.

That's the deal. For 3 more years (unless we retake the House).

Thanks America. You voted for the FAFO.

This is (some of)the FO part.

Trump can't be bothered to learn or understand the law. He just does what he wants and then lets the courts rule against him all the way up to the bought and paid for SCOTUS. Costs us, but not him. He doesn't care one bit.

This headline will be repeated for state after state in November, 2026, after the seizure of ballots and voting equipment, in an attempt to nullify the 2026 mid-terms, in which the bubbling Dems defeat their MAGA opponents, who by then cannot avoid the tidal waves of chaos generated by a badly dressed, fat orange criminal insurrectionist and golf cheat...

Now, onward to Chicago, another Democrat voting bloc and another flexing his muscle in the courts. Trump is enjoying this.
