đ„ Troops in LA Today. Where Tomorrow?
Trumpâs National Guard Memo Targets One Cityâbut Opens the Door to Deployment Anywhere
When I first read the memo, my stomach turnedânot because of what it said, but because of what it left unsaid.
On June 7, 2025, President Trump signed a Presidential Memorandum authorizing the use of 2,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles. On the surface, it reads like a response to protestsâICE raids, federal property at risk, the usual justifications.
But beneath that surface, something far more dangerous is taking shape.
This wasnât a deployment under Title 32, which leaves control with the state governor. It was a Title 10 actionâmeaning those troops are now under direct federal command. Thatâs not just a difference in paperwork. Itâs a shift in power. And it matters.
