All 3 judges unanimously rule in favor of Trump. It was an easy common sense ruling.
It will be appealed. It doesn't meet the standards of the Insurrection Act and is illegal.
Common sense tells me that no one was killed before the Ng showed up, no police force asked the Gov for assistance, and there are bigger emergencies in regard to property and loss of life that Trump’s admin has decided not to provide assistance for.
Trump just wants to swing his military like a big, prostatic penis so we can all see what a big man he is.
ICE agents were being attacked. California police didn't want to help. Trump not only have the right but also obligation to use the national guard to protect the ICE agents.
Being attacked? You know just a private citizen one on one can be attacked, but that doesn’t mean that lethal force is warranted. If ice agents were being yelled at and people were throwing tomatoes at them I would not consider that grounds for national guard involvement. And to be honest, unless you’ve got people shooting at ice agents I don’t even know that I would help even if I was the local police. I would expect federal officers to support their own assets in the field. So let’s get some context here who was injured how many and what kind of injuries did they sustain?
I think it’s interesting that on January 6 our nations capital was under attack and nobody thought the national guard was needed at that point…
Tomatoes? You definitely get the facts wrong.
The appeal Court has ruled in favor of Trump based on all the facts.
Did you find an article that you can post here that says the injuries were more serious than getting hit with tomatoes?
ICE doesn't need protection, they need to be disbanded and jailed.
If some dipshit in a plate carrier and a mask tried to kidnap me, I'd fight back too.
If you are an illegal immigrant, then you are not really innocent.
Being in the country illegally is a misdemeanor. They also pay more taxes then every major corporation, and are a vital part of this countries agriculture industry.
It is so unethical to use them as cheap labors as if they are slaves. The Democrats supported slavery back then and now wants a new form of slavery.
The only true thing in this post is that it's unethical. Leftists actively want them to be paid better, given more rights and receive Healthcare to improve their lives. Republicans want to take everything from them and ship them off to random countries. Are you okay with the fact that Trump wanted to send these people to countries in Africa?
Acknowledging the fact that our agricultural system would collapse without them is not in any way, shape or form an acceptance of their conditions. If you actually care about them as much as you're pretending to, ask yourself why the current administration is going after the exploited workers while doing NOTHING to those who are exploiting them. Does that not seem odd to you?
And that's not even touching the absolutely braindead take that the left were the ones in favor of slavery. You have no idea what you're talking about and are just parroting what you're told to think by right wing influencers. Not only is it sad, but it's a clear-cut demonstration of everything that's wrong with the US. Facts don't matter, reality doesn't matter, you feel good destroying people's lives and you refuse to let the truth impede that.
