Didn't Eisenhower send the National Guard into the Little Rock when the governor of Arkansas tried to prevent integration in the schools?

Harrigan reporting a showdown between police and a green Cadillac. Now, more shots fired off in the distance, and soldiers responding to that.

Ike federalized the guard and put it under US authority.

Yup, he Federalized the Guard (I think from another state) and used them. It was very illegal, but who was going to stop him? The Supreme Court? They were pissed off at Arkansas and wouldn't have heard any arguments against it.
