The Spin
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.

Despite the temporary setback posed by the Court of Appeal’s decision, Gov. Gavin Newsom and Attorney General Rob Bonta continue to have complete confidence in the law. The case argued by Judge Breyer makes it clear that Trump blatantly overstepped his presidential authority and violated the U.S. Constitution. The hearing on Tuesday will only expose the illegality of Trump’s actions further.
