Let this sink in: A president can apparently now order lethal force outside of congressionally declared wars, in international waters, without oversight, and face no personal criminal or civil liability—even if the action was blatantly illegal.

How the Supreme Court Turned Trump Into a Danger to Everyone
The administration’s decision to launch an attack against alleged drug runners in the Caribbean is a lawless act—or at least it used to be.

![Guard into Federal Service,
" which states that "[t]wo thousand members of the
California National Guard will be called into Federal service effective immediately for a period of 60 days." Notably, this directive did not issue
"through the governorl] of the State[l" as required by section 12406; the Department of Defense did not transmit this directive to the Office of the Governor, nor was it approved or ordered by the Governor of California. This directive is also inconsistent with the President's memorandum, which anticipates "coordination] with the Governors of the States" in identifying and ordering units of the National Guard into federal service.
At present, law enforcement authorities from the City and County of Los
Angeles are safeguarding public safety, and, as demonstrated by the robust law enforcement response yesterday evening to protect federal facilities, local law enforcement resources are sufficient to maintain order. In dynamic and fluid situations such as the one in Los Angeles, State and local authorities are the most appropriate ones to evaluate the need for resources to safeguard life ano property. Indeed, the decision to deploy the National Guard, without appropriate training or orders, risks seriously escalating the situation.
There is currently no need for the National Guard to be deployed in Los Angeles, and to do so in this unlawful manner and for such a lengthy period is a serious breach of state sovereignty that seems intentionally designed to inflame the situation, while simultaneously depriving the State from deploying these personnel and resources where they are truly required. Accordingly, we ask that you immediately rescind your order and return the National Guard to its rightful control by the State of California, to be deployed as appropriate when necessary.
Sincerely,
