Dem Bill Would Limit Deploying Troops On US Soil

The Hill reports:

Rep. Haley Stevens (D-Mich.) is set to introduce legislation next week that would make it illegal for President Trump to deploy active duty service forces to a state or territory without receiving a direct request from the state or territory’s governor.

The Stop Trump’s Abuse of Power Act, revealed first to The Hill, comes after the Trump administration deployed hundreds of Marines and over 2,000 California National Guard troops to Los Angeles earlier this month amid unrest over the president’s immigration agenda.
