Pop Quiz: Can The President Order The National Guard To Deploy To D.C.

Trump claimed that back on Jan 6th, 2021, he could not deploy the National Guard to D.C., because Pelosi did not improve.

Did SCOTUS or Congress vote in extra powers for him? Because this morning, he said he's deploying the National Guard.

PS: I am being facetious. He had the legal authority to do it in 2021 and did not anyone to approve it.

Oh he can yet only for 30 days.

Not the situation on January 6th.

Nor the situation with these ICE raids. These ICE raids have been going on longer than six months now. And the national guard is still there. Supporting or not is irrelevant now.
