The Insurrection Act is back on the table
The last time a President deployed the National Guard over a governor's objections was more than 50 years ago.
Over the weekend, President Trump did just that — in California. He ordered 2,000 National Guard members to Los Angeles, where people are protesting federal immigration raids.
Today, governor Gavin Newsom said California is suing the Trump administration for what the governor called an unlawful action.
Trump called the protesters "insurrectionists"; Vice President JD Vance suggested they constituted an "invasion." What does that signal about where the situation in California is headed? We ask Juliette Kayyem, a former assistant secretary of Homeland Security in the Obama administration.
