Trump Tests Limits of Presidential Authority by Sending Troops into Los Angeles
Deployment marks rare use of federal power without state consent
President Donald Trump has tested the boundaries of presidential authority by deploying National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the request of California's governor.
Invoking a rarely used federal law, the move aims to suppress protests related to recent immigration enforcement actions.
Critics argue this sets a dangerous precedent, likening it to authoritarian tactics.
The deployment has intensified debates over federal versus state control and the appropriate use of military force in domestic affairs.
