<h1>Federal deployments of National Guard and agents paused over Tenth and Fourteenth Amendment concerns while appeals proceed</h1> Federal courts have temporarily blocked federal efforts to deploy National Guard troops to certain cities, finding such deployments raise constitutional issues under the Tenth Amendment (state sovereignty over militias) and the Fourteenth Amendment (due process/equal protection), while appeals are pending. In one state the Guard operates under the governor's command to support federal law-enforcement actions; elsewhere, courts restrained federal control and limited agents' tactics (ordering identification display, banning some riot-control weapons) and vacated an allegedly unlawful fence. Federal law-enforcement task forces continue arrests and citations in locations where deployments proceeded with state approval.
