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.

About 5 neighbors stood nearby, shouting at the agents [ #FreeSpeech] who gave verbal warnings they would deploy #TearGas. They never did.

Klim & the other man had been working on the house for a couple weeks, acc/to Brendan Ek, a neighbor across the street. “It seemed a little ridiculous, honestly. Big waste of #taxpayers’ money, if you ask me,” Ek, 30, said.

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”.

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.

“We’ll talk later about whether that’s #contempt,” the judge responded to Lin Wednesday.

For the next 3 days, Immergut will preside over a trial that’s expected to touch on a range of issues, from lofty legal arguments about the authority & limitations of presidential powers, to specific ways the #Portland Police Bureau has evolved its response to #protests since 2020, & rising tensions between local & #federal law enforcement officers.

Jean Lin, special counsel for the #DOJ, confirmed the deployment to the US District Court Judge Karin Immergut on Wednesday but provided few specifics — minutes before the trial began.

Immergut issued a restraining order at 3:40PM on Oct 4, barring #Trump from federalizing the #Oregon #NationalGuard & blocking their deployment. Later, on Oct 5, she issued another order temporarily blocking Guard members from anywhere in the country from deploying to Oregon.

The email included a schedule that showed the troops’ “shift conclusion” was set for midnight.

Andrea Soria, whose daughter plays at Luna y Cielo, overheard her 6-year-old whisper to her dolls: “We have to be good or ICE will get us,” referring to U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

“These kids are traumatized,” Aguirre-Ávalos said. “Even if ICE stops doing what they’re doing right now, people are going to be traumatized. The damage is already done.”

The 2-year-old boy was so frightened, he stuttered.

“Mommy, mommy, mommy,” he repeated, clinging to her.

His mother, Molly Kucich, had been grocery shopping when her husband called, panicking. She heard “immigration raid.” Then: “tear gas.”
