DC Sues Trump Over – KXL

WASHINGTON, DC – Officials in the nation’s capital are filing a lawsuit against President Trump over the deployment of National Guard troops. The lawsuit argues Mr. Trump “has run roughshod over a fundamental tenet of American democracy — that the military should not be involved in domestic law enforcement.”

This legal action comes after a federal judge ruled earlier this week that the Trump administration’s deployment of National Guard troops in California was illegal.

According to a senior official familiar with planning, the administration is working on an extension that could keep troops in the nation’s capital through December.
