The strategy is further complicated by the fact that #NationalGuard members from one state cannot operate in another state without permission, Nunn said. He also warned that any quick-reaction force established for #CivilUnrest missions risks lowering the threshold for deploying National Guard troops into US cities.

The #Trump admin is relying on a shaky legal theory that the president can act broadly to protect federal property & functions, said Joseph Nunn, an attorney at the Brennan Center for Justice who specializes in legal issues germane to the #US #military’s domestic activities.
“You don’t want to normalize routine military participation in law enforcement,” he said. “You don’t want to normalize routine domestic deployment.”
The proposal being evaluated now would allow the president to mobilize #troops & put them on #Title32 orders in a #state experiencing unrest. The documents detailing the plan acknowledge the potential for #political friction should the #governor refuse to work with the #Pentagon.
Some #legal scholars expressed apprehension about the proposal.
[I should think!]

The other kind, #Title32, is a #federal - #state status where #troops are controlled by their state #governor but federally funded. It also allows more latitude to participate in law enforcement missions. #NationalGuard troops from other states arrived in DC under such circumstances during racial justice #protests in 2020.

"Dissolutionnite présidentielle, entre-soi (masculin) des lieux de pouvoir, refus de tout compromis avec une gauche pourtant conciliante, complaisance des milieux d’affaire envers le racisme et le nazisme et tant de menus détails… le tout sous la bannière d’un libéralisme autoritaire."

Trump rolled out that policy in early April, but after markets convulsed in response he quickly delayed the higher #tariffs from taking effect.
Many of those #tariffs — including revised rates for countries that have struck agreements with the US or have been targeted by one of Trump's recent #trade letters — are set to snap back into place Friday.
#Trump also invoked #IEEPA as his authority to impose tariffs on #Canada, #Mexico & #China over alleged cross-border threats.
"And our #Constitution was very clear in saying…there's one branch that has the #power to tariff & it isn't the president & it isn't the #courts. It's the #Congress of the #UnitedStates," Katyal said.
The case, known as V.O.S. Selections v. Trump, centers on whether #Trump exceeded his #authority by invoking an emergency-powers #law to impose a slew of far-reaching tariff policies.

A federal appeals #court is hearing arguments Thursday in a case that could kneecap Trump's global tariff regime.
#Trump has held up the case as a life-or-death moment for his #trade agenda. The plaintiffs in the case say the president has usurped the power of #Congress to set #tariffs.

We interviewed nine Venezuelan men who were sent to CECOT in #ElSalvador by the #Trump administration.
Some said their feelings about what happened were still raw.
All of the men said they were abused physically and mentally during their imprisonment.

I recommend Mike Brock's valuable analysis of the primary project of the Roberts Court: to dismantle the New Deal (and, in the process, the Constitution), in service to the super-rich oligarchs who have bought and paid for this court over several decades, with precisely that goal.
