Virtual Event | National Guard & Domestic Deployment: The Law and Executive Power

Watch

This week’s deployment of National Guard personnel to Los Angeles, California, in the wake of protest activity raises important questions about the role of the military in domestic law enforcement, the legal framework for the National Guard, and the possibility of a constitutional showdown between a governor and the president over the use of the National Guard. The Center for a New Security (CNAS) Securing U.S. Democracy Initiative has been exploring the intersection of federalism and national security.

On Thursday, June 12, CNAS hosted a conversation with Senior Fellow Carrie Cordero who was joined by Professor Claire Finkelstein, director of the Center for Ethics and Rule of Law at the University of Pennsylvania, and Professor Mark Nevitt of Emory University School of Law to provide insight into this week’s events and the broader statutory and constitutional implications.
