In the future, the U.S. Federal Court will decide everything.
The US Justice Department has announced its position regarding President Donald Trump's decision to send the military to Los Angeles. A federal court will decide everything in the future.
It was reported by Bloomberg.
The Justice Department urged a federal court not to interfere with the Trump administration's decision to deploy National Guard and Marine units to respond to deportation protests in Los Angeles.
In a submission to the court, the U.S. government said there is no "intruder veto power" to enforce federal law, and the head of state has full constitutional and statutory authority to bring in the National Guard and Marines to stop acts of violence.
Justices at the Justice Department say California's requirement that the military limit its actions to guarding only federal property and personnel is illegal, and have characterized it as a "crude political showmanship."
Federal Judge Charles Breyer in San Francisco has scheduled a hearing in the case for the second half of Thursday, June 12.
The judicial standoff is widening
The publication recalled that the other day there was a public dispute between the US president and California Governor Gavin Newsom regarding attempts to quell riots in the city.
Newsom called the decision to send in the military illegal, and Trump, said the governor should be held accountable for his response to the protests.
Governor Newsom's office and California Attorney General Rob Bonta, have not yet provided comment regarding the Justice Department's position.
Bloomberg noted that the conflict was the next stage in a broader court standoff over the limits of President Trump's executive authority.
State opinions are divided
In a joint statement released Wednesday, Democratic attorneys general from 18 states, notably New York and Illinois, said the troop deployment was "illegal, unconstitutional and undemocratic" because it occurred without California's consent.
At the same time, in a related court filing, 19 states and the Territory of Guam supported the Trump administration's action, emphasizing that using the National Guard without state consent is "responsible, constitutionally sound and legally permissible."
Among the state leaders who supported Trump's decision is Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican. He said he would also involve the National Guard if necessary during protests planned in his state on June 14.
Florida's governor, Republican Ron Desantis, offered to send Florida State Guard troops to California to help with law enforcement, but Newsom declined the offer, according to the Orlando Sentinel.
According to U.S. Army Maj. Gen. Niav Knell, more than 2,000 federally subordinate National Guard troops have been enlisted to protect people and facilities by patrolling, manning observation posts and guarding the perimeters of federal buildings.
More than 700 Marines are now being trained for similar operations.
Protests in California's capital
Late last week, widespread protests erupted in downtown Los Angeles over a wave of migrant arrests by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
To maintain order, the Trump administration has deployed thousands of National Guard troops and hundreds of Marines to the city in recent days, despite objections from local and state authorities.
California has asked a court to limit military involvement in the protests.
At least 400 people have been detained in the Greater Los Angeles area since the protests began.
