On June 6, 2025, the federal government initiated immigration raids across the City of Los Angeles. Protests swiftly followed, and some individuals involved in those protests were unruly and even violent. State and local law enforcement responded. The following day, President Trump ordered that members of the California National Guard be federalized, and thereupon assumed control of those forces.
At this early stage of the proceedings, the Court must determine whether the President followed the congressionally mandated procedure for his actions. He did not. His actions were illegal"both exceeding the scope of his statutory authority and violating the Tenth Amendment to the United States Constitution. He must therefore return control of the California National Guard to the Governor of the State of California forthwith.
A federal jury and judge acquitted a 21-year-old woman from Peru on Thursday of illegally entering a national defense area and military reservation after she crossed the Rio Grande from Mexico into Texas last month, in what lawyers say is the first trial of an immigrant since the Trump administration declared parts of the New Mexico and Texas border as a military zone. read more

#10 AI overview:
Well-regulated militia" in the context of the Second Amendment refers to a well-organized, disciplined, and capable body of armed citizens, not simply a group of individuals with guns. It emphasizes the importance of a structured and effective militia for the security of a free state, rather than individual gun ownership for personal reasons.
The elephant in the room regarding that theorem is what the founding era legislators actually did regarding what AI posits.
With the two Militia Act of 1792, the Act of 1795 and the Act of 1808 the militias were not established as "well-organized, disciplined and capable body of armed citizens." Instead, the Acts simply defined a "group of individuals" and mandated that the group arm themselves with guns, ammunition and knives. en.wikipedia.org
That is the irrefutable evidence of the Founders intent regarding a "well regulated militia."
