Congress spoke clearly in 1878 when it passed the Posse Comitatus Act, prohibitingthe use of the U.S. military to execute domestic law. Nearly 140 years later, Defendants—President Trump, Secretary of Defense Hegseth, and the Department of Defense—deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles, ostensibly to quell a rebellionand ensure that federal immigration law was enforced. There were indeed protests in LosAngeles, and some individuals engaged in violence. Yet there was no rebellion, nor wascivilian law enforcement unable to respond to the protests and enforce the law.And where is this happening? Cite Court case if you would please.
Because there is an ongoing risk that Defendants will act unlawfullyand thereby injure Plaintiffs, Governor Newsom and the State of California, the CourtENJOINS Defendants from violating the Posse Comitatus Act as detailed below.
