PBS Turns to Left to Explain Trump's 'Alarming' L.A. Troop Deployment

Thursday night’s edition of the PBS News Hour turned to a leftist group, the Brennan Center for Justice and a liberal mayor as their subject experts to criticize President Trump’s use of the National Guard and U.S. Marines in Los Angeles and other cities to quell violence at protests against ICE’s arrest of illegal immigrants.

Co-anchor Amna Nawaz quoted California Governor Gavin Newsom calling the White House's a "power grab" that violates the U.S. Constitution before turning to her remote guest Liza Goitein, the senior director at the Brennan Center for Justice's Liberty and National Security Program, who strained to make Trump's actions against civil disorder sound unprecedented.
