Attorneys Brian Kabateck and Shant Karnikian expose the constitutional crisis behind Trump's National Guard deployment in California, explaining why his "win" in the Ninth Circuit was actually a devastating loss on presidential power. They break down how the court rejected Trump's claim that military deployment is unreviewable, while sending the case back for crucial fact-finding on whether troops are illegally doing ICE agents' work. The hosts explore the Posse Comitatus Act's protection against military enforcement on U.S. soil and the upcoming discovery process that could shut down Trump's operation. They examine the stunning hypocrisy of conservatives who spent decades fearing government overreach, now cheering federal troops in states, and why this represents the dangerous weaponization of the military against immigrant communities who don't support Trump politically.
