Trump to take over D.C. Policing | NEW ORLEANS Next

This is good, right? Trump isn't overstepping his authority and "invading" Chicago, declaring war on America or whatever else was claimed to be happening.

What terminology would you use when Trump illegally sends the National Guard into a state without the governor’s consent (as a court ruled he did in Los Angeles)?

Is “illegally sending troops” appreciably different from invading? I also looked up the definition of “invade” and it fits very well into what Trump was threatening to do.

As for “declaring war,” it was Trump that first use the word “war.”

I think the President has the authority to send the Marines into LA to protect Federal buildings, which is all they were doing. They weren't engaging with rioters.

I haven't seen an true example of "illegally" sending troops anywhere so far, that includes LA and DC, which is under the control of the federal government.

But forget LA for the moment. If Trump did send in the National Guard to Chicago without the governor’s consent, do you agree that would be illegal? If so, what word would you use?

Him? Probably either majestic or heroic.

The fence has done so much damage at this point he essentially has a cloaca

FWIW, New Orleans is following similar trends of decreasing crime rates in cities across the nation.

Murder rate has a 22% drop from 2024. And 2024 was a 35% drop from 2023. The rate is near the 50-year low for the city.
Personal crime overall is -17% yoy. Property crime overall is -21% yoy.

Dumb, contrived publicity stunt by clown-in-chief.

Ok, if they were used for domestic law enforcement, yes, that is illegal.

But forget LA for the moment. If Trump did send in the National Guard to Chicago without the governor’s consent, do you agree that would be illegal? If so, what word would you use?

I would call it illegal, yes. Unconstitutional? Yes. Probably not declaring war or "invasion".
