<h1>President orders troop deployment to protect federal immigration sites; state leaders say authority lacking, cite Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. §§251-255)</h1> The president announced a plan to deploy military forces to a city to protect federal immigration facilities, prompting the state governor and city mayor to say troops are unnecessary and that the president lacks authority to order such a deployment; the governor stated local public safety is adequate and must coordinate any National Guard request. The Pentagon said it stands ready to support Department of Homeland Security operations. State officials and most of the congressional delegation argue the unilateral move risks executive overreach, undermines federal-state authority, and could provoke legal and political challenges.
