💨 Abstract

A federal judge in San Francisco is skeptical about the continuous deployment of the California National Guard under federal control in Los Angeles. The judge questioned the legal limits of using federal forces to protect federal buildings and employees, especially as initial threats subside. The legal dispute centers on whether deploying the National Guard for domestic tasks complies with the Posse Comitatus Act. The judge and attorneys debated whether this move sets a precedent for unrestrained federal intervention.
