Appeals court presses government on Trump's DC National Guard deployment
Original: Appeals court judges question the government about Trump's DC National Guard deployment
A federal appeals court heard arguments over the Trump administration's deployment of the National Guard in Washington, DC, with judges sharply questioning the government's legal justification. The case tests whether the president can deploy Guard troops in the capital without state or local consent, a dispute with broader implications for presidential power and the use of military forces domestically.
Why now: The ruling could set a major precedent on presidential authority to deploy troops on US soil.
