The Situation in Los Angeles and the U.S. Military: Legal and policy implications

Over the past several days, the Trump administration has taken increasingly drastic steps in response to protest activity and unrest in Los Angeles — including federalizing 4,000 National Guard troops and sending hundreds of Marines, against the objections of California’s state and local leadership. 

As events unfold on the ground in LA, and in the lead-up to further anticipated protests this weekend, Just Security and the Reiss Center on Law and Security will host a YouTube Live event to examine the pressing legal and policy issues at stake. Join us on Thursday, June 12 at 11am ET at YouTube Live to hear from top experts.
