As a retired senior U.S. military leader, I believe America is a force for good in the world. As a historically literate scholar, I also know we've done a lot of evil, through ignorance, greed, or hubris. As a Muslim, I believe study of God's revelation can guide us to do better.

At the heart of the legal wrongfulness of the Trump deployment of federalized National Guard troops is its violation of U.S. law protecting the sovereignty of the states and its violation of laws against federal military force being used for domestic law enforcement, including civil immigration […]
