The deployment and deputization of the National Guard are unconstitutional and violate federal law, a new lawsuit filed by D.C. Attorney General Brian Schwalb Thursday alleges. He's suing the federal government to stop the deployment, which has sent nearly 2,300 National Guard troops from seven states and D.C. into the District. The suit argues it, along with the U.S. Marshals Service deputizing the guard to act as law enforcement, has become an involuntary military occupation that goes far beyond President Donald Trump's authority and deprives the District of its right to self-governance.
