Trump Overrides California, Sends Troops—Is This Violation of Constitution? Here's What the Law Says

As protests over immigration raids spiral out of control, U.S President Donald Trump has sent 2,000 National Guard troops into California — but is it even legal? Governor Gavin Newsom says no, calling it a "serious breach of state sovereignty." Legal experts are divided, citing the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibits military involvement in civilian law enforcement. Trump invoked Title 10, Section 12406 — but critics argue he’s exploiting rebellion laws to justify a power grab. #Trump #NationalGuard #LosAngelesProtests #TrumpVsNewsom #USLaw #PosseComitatus #ImmigrationRaids #CaliforniaProtests #Title10 #ConstitutionalCrisis #FederalOverreach #GavinNewsom #ICEraids #MartialLawDebate #CivilRights #LAProtests ~PR.274~HT.408~
