A judge on Monday allowed the continued deployment of more than 300 #WestVirginia #NationalGuard members to #WashingtonDC.
Kanawha County Circuit Judge Richard D. Lindsay made the ruling after hearing arguments in a lawsuit by a civic organization.
#Republican Gov. Patrick Morrisey authorized the Guard’s deployment in August to support #Trump’s *crime-fighting* efforts in the nation’s capital.

The #WestVirginia Citizen Action Group then filed a lawsuit claiming Morrisey exceeded his #authority.
Under #state #law, the group argued, the governor could deploy the #NationalGuard out of state only for certain purposes, such as responding to a #NaturalDisaster or another state’s #emergency request.
Morrisey’s office has argued the deployment was authorized under federal law.

The memo, signed on 8 October by Maj Gen Ronald Burkett, the director of operations for the #Pentagon’s #NationalGuard bureau, sets thresholds for the size of the quick reaction force to be trained in each state, with most states required to train 500 national guard members, for a total of 23,500 troops nationwide.

As authority, Burkett cited Trump’s August executive order that deployed the guard to fight *crime* in #WashingtonDC. The same order required the secretary of #defense to create “a standing National Guard quick reaction force … available for rapid nationwide deployment” in “quelling civil disturbances”.

Back in July, Sidney Reed was recording law enforcement in Washington, D.C., when she was arrested and charged with assaulting law enforcement, because an FBI agent got scratched during the arrest. But it didn't quite work out the way the authorities anticipated. Three times, prosecutors failed to secure an indictment on the federal assault charge, which carries a potential eight-year sentence. Then they switched to charging Reid with a misdemeanor. She pleaded not guilty, went to trial, and was acquitted, with one of her public defenders telling the jury: “You should be livid that the government brought this case.” Here's more from Adam Klasfeld of @allrisenews.
