Marines have arrived in LA after Trump authorized an additional 2,000 National Guardsman to be deployed to the city. California sued over the deployment.
The last use of the legislation was in 1992, when President George H. W. Bush invoked it to send troops to Los Angeles to put down the Rodney King riots.
California has sued the Trump administration, alleging the National Guard deployment was unlawful. Trump said it was necessary to ‘address the lawlessness.’
The order directed federal agencies to establish counter-drone training programs and make grants available to non-federal agencies seeking to buy drones.
The ‘Quiet Skies’ program identified certain passengers for enhanced security screening at airports, which Kristi Noem alleged was politicized by Democrats.
