President Trump spoke to reporters on Friday after landing at Morristown Municipal Airport, where he indicated that he may deploy the National Guard to stop leftwing rioters in sanctuary cities where ICE is executing deportation operations.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, the Ninth Circuit Court blocked a judge’s restraining order, allowing President Trump to keep the California National Guard deployed.
California’s far-left Governor Gavin Newsom sued President Trump and said he violated the 10th Amendment to the Constitution.
Far-left US District Judge Charles Breyer, (brother of retired SCOTUS Breyer), a Clinton appointee, previously granted Newsom a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and said Trump’s decision to federalize the National Guard was illegal.
President Trump celebrated the win in a Truth Social post on Thursday:
“BIG WIN in the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on the President’s core power to call in the National Guard! The Judges obviously realized that Gavin Newscum is incompetent and ill prepared, but this is much bigger than Gavin, because all over the United States, if our Cities, and our people, need protection, we are the ones to give it to them should State and Local Police be unable, for whatever reason, to get the job done. This is a Great Decision for our Country, and we will continue to protect and defend Law abiding Americans. Congratulations to the Ninth Circuit, America is proud of you tonight!”
The President said in a statement earlier this week, “I want ICE, Border Patrol, and our Great and Patriotic Law Enforcement Officers, to FOCUS on our crime ridden and deadly Inner Cities, and those places where Sanctuary Cities play such a big role.”
When asked if he would replicate his what was done in Los Angeles in other cities across the country, the President did not rule anything out, citing his court victory allowing him him to federalize the National Guard.
WATCH:
Reporter: Are there other cities that you’re going to try to replicate what you’ve done in Los Angeles?
Trump: Well, I mean, we got a big victory last night in the court, Court of Appeals, with respect to Los Angeles, but really the country, where Gavin Newscum, who’s really an incompetent governor, he’s just doing a terrible job. Between his fires, between all the houses burning down, his forest fires, and now Los Angeles; if we didn’t go to Los Angeles —and the sheriff admitted it —he had no control, he would have lost control.
We saved Los Angeles by having the military go in, and the second night was much better. The third night was nothing much, and the fourth night nobody bothered even coming. We put out that fire, and we did a great job of it. He sued us for going in and for helping him. We went and helped him. Right now, you would have Los Angeles burning to the ground. Largely, it would have already been destroyed.
