Legal analyst Gregg Jarrett of Fox News joined ‘Fox & Friends’ to assert that President Donald Trump’s decision to deploy National Guard troops to crime-ridden areas is squarely within the bounds of legality. Jarrett discussed the legal framework surrounding the president’s actions, emphasizing that such deployments are permissible under existing federal statutes. He also addressed an appeals court ruling that found most of Trump’s tariffs to be illegal, suggesting that the legal challenges facing the administration are not insurmountable.
In his analysis, Jarrett highlighted that the use of National Guard forces in high-crime areas falls under the president’s constitutional authority to deploy military resources for domestic security. He argued that the legal basis for these deployments is solid, based on precedents established in previous administrations. Regarding the tariffs, Jarrett noted that while some of the measures may have been challenged, the overall policy remains legally defensible, and the administration is likely to defend its actions in court.
