MEGYN KELLY (HOST): The federal code, title 10, section twelve, four zero six, allows Trump to call up the guard to thwart the danger of a rebellion against US government authority by large groups of protesters who are stopping federal officials from enforcing the law. He sends in the guard in small supportive units to support ICE. That's already been upheld as OK. That's what the ninth circuit said that I mean, what happened in LA was they went to a a federal district court who said, you actually can have the guard here, and they can assist ICE. They just can't act as, like, cops.
They can't be, like, local cops. And the feds were, like, they're not. And the Ninth Circuit gave them an even better green light. Like, you're good. So the ninth circuit upheld Trump's right to have National Guard troops there.
And now we're going back to the Ninth Circuit on these Oregon rulings, the Saturday and the Sunday one, by this Trump appointed judge who's a problem. And they're going to win. Trump is going to win. I don't know if he wins with the Ninth Circuit. I think he's going to based on that other ruling.
But even if he doesn't, the Supreme Court will reverse this and allow him to send troops in to support ICE.
This is not the other big megillah we've been discussing because Trump's been threatening it, which is sending a bunch of National Guard troops into a random state like Illinois to do law enforcement, to do crime cleanup without an invitation from the city governor. That's not OK. If he does that, I will be the first to come on this air and criticize him and say he's behaving extra-constitutionally. Trust me.
I will. This is not that. This is a much more myopic mission.
It's a support mission for federal troops and federal facilities enforcing federal law. He's fine. And these activist judges won't acknowledge it. They get on the bench. They think they're king. This woman thinks she was elected president. She thinks she's in charge of how we enforce immigration law.
I don't know how that one got by. I'd love to know who put her on there, who decided this was a good judge to be handling these things. Her name last name is Immergut. Immergut is her name. And, yeah, she was a Trump pick. Unfortunately, you can't bat a thousand on these. You often wind up choosing, you know, a turkey.
