We need your voice. Sign this petition to help close the federal loophole that allows presidents to deploy the National Guard during peaceful protests without state consent or proper oversight. In a recent move, President Donald Trump deployed National Guard troops to Los Angeles without Governor Gavin Newsom’s consent, citing that federal immigration operations—specifically ICE enforcement—were being threatened by protest activity. This happened despite public statements from both Governor Newsom and the LAPD that the situation was under control. That moment revealed a serious flaw in Title 10 of the U.S. Code and the Insurrection Act (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255): right now, a president can send military troops into a state without independent verification or state approval, simply by claiming that federal operations are being disrupted. If we don’t close this loophole, any future president could use this same power to respond to peaceful protests, override local leadership, or deploy troops in domestic situations without real oversight or accountability. That’s a dangerous threat to civil liberties, state authority, and the constitutional checks and balances this country was built on. This proposal isn’t about taking away the president’s ability to act in a real emergency. It’s about making sure that power is used fairly, transparently, and with immediate oversight—so that no president can act alone without proving the need first. Key Points: Presidents can currently deploy the National Guard without state consent or outside verification This reform closes that loophole in Title 10 and the Insurrection Act It requires judicial and bipartisan congressional review within 48 hours The President must submit justification and evidence within 7 hours of deployment A randomized oversight process ensures no political manipulation or pre-picked allies You can read the full proposal below.
