The administrative stay granted by the Court of Appeals has possibly saved Los Angeles. Breyer’s order was not only an unconstitutional attack on the office of the presidency but would have also left L.A. and its federal personnel to the mercy of violent mobs and rioters. With this decision, the Trump administration can continue its efforts to restore law and order to America’s streets.
