Even if they don’t want troops in the city, how much power does Trump have to send them?

US President Donald Trump on Sunday said that he will not use the “insurrection” provision of theInsurrection Act, which allows him to order the National Guard to carry out immigration raids and arrest people, “for now”. However, he said he may use the law in the future. This comes amid protests in Los Angeles over Trump’s move to send troops to help with immigration raids.
