Trump Uses Same Authority LBJ Used To Protect Civil Rights Marchers In Alabama
Northern Command Sends In Marines
President Trump used Article 10 authority to bypass Governor Newsom and take charge of the California National Guard Saturday evening. This approach was last used in 1965 by President Lyndon B. Johnson (D) to bypass Alabama Governor George Wallace (D) to protect civil rights marchers. Johnson's action was a response to the violence inflicted upon peaceful demonstrators during the "Bloody Sunday" march on March 7, 1965, which had been violently halted at the Edmund Pettus Bridge. Trump’s action was in response to the violence inflicted upon ICE agents and local police by thugs supporting criminal aliens in Los Angeles on Friday and Saturday.

To Keep The Rioting Going All Summer, Newsom Sues Trump Administration
The Democrats had been uncharacteristically peaceful since the election. Yes, they have sent their Useful Idiots to the streets to scream that the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) was cutting off Democrats’ grift and there was a violent thug here & there expressing their hatred
Dems have chosen to go to war with mostly illegals as their combatants. War with Trump is their last and only hope. I hope that America is taking note. In reality the midterms should not be close. We all know how that type of stuff seems to work out.
If Democrats do something, it's OK, but if Republicans do the same thing, it isn't.
BTW, Obama administration deported more than 10 million illegals, and the Clinton administration deported more than 13 million illegals.
