A federal judge on Nov. 20 ordered the Trump administration to end its deployment of National Guard troops in the nation’s capital.
Trump had said the troops were needed to deal with rampant crime and violence in Washington and support federal immigration law enforcement efforts there.
On Aug. 11, the president signed a presidential memorandum, in which he said the local D.C. government “has lost control of public order and safety in the city.” “It is a point of national disgrace that Washington, D.C., has a violent crime rate that is higher than some of the most dangerous places in the world,” the document states.
Although the federal Posse Comitatus Act restricts the ability of the federal government to use military resources for domestic law enforcement, a president may take over, or federalize, state National Guard troops on an emergency basis in certain circumstances.
However, the D.C. National Guard is in a unique position because the District of Columbia is a federal enclave and not a state. The president is the commander-in-chief of the D.C. National Guard.

DC is a federal district, not a state. It’s ultimate authority is the US Congress, not a federal judge.

Sounds like sedition to me. The judge is usurping the role of Commander in Chief.

A lot of these feral judges are obese……they take it out on Trump.

Is the Judge going to prevent crime in DC, or does it just go back to the way it was.
