In its most distilled form, that’s the conclusion of Charles Breyer, the federal judge overseeing a suit brought by #California Governor Gavin Newsom over the #Trump administration’s deployment of National Guardsmen & #Marines in & around #LosAngeles in June. In a scathing opinion delivered today, Breyer said that the administration had acted illegally.

Deploying these service members “for the purpose of establishing a #military presence there & enforcing federal law,” Breyer wrote, “is a serious violation of the #PosseComitatusAct.” That #law, passed in 1878, bars the use of the military in domestic law enforcement, except as allowed by the #Constitution or by #Congress.

Breyer’s ruling makes plain how the admin worked to circumvent the law, & why.
