NOEM: “US forces will remain in LA until the city is liberated from the socialist and burdensome leadership that this governor and mayor have placed on this country.”

Padilla speaks out, is pushed out and to floor, handcuffed.

(8) Among greatest infirmities - legal, moral, policy - is federalizing the Guard to police protest activity when the situation was under control (including with CA Guard if Newsom wanted to use them).

In context, this looks not like "escalating to de-escalate," but escalating to escalate further.

(6) The Memo not only includes National Guard but authorizes regular Armed Forces.

It does not tell you under what authority.

My best guess what the White House is thinking: inherent Article II “protective power” (which has never been tested in court).
