A piece of legislation introduced in Washington state aims to prevent out-of-state National Guard troops from entering the state without permission, in response to concerns that Republican governors may send troops to assist with deportations of immigrants. The bill is supported by Democratic Governor Bob Ferguson and is seen as a way to protect the state’s autonomy and authority. While some argue that the legislation is unnecessary, citing federal law that allows for the deployment of National Guard troops, others see it as a precautionary measure against potential federal intervention in state affairs. The bill has drawn attention to the issue of state sovereignty and the balance of power between states and the federal government. The debate around the legislation reflects broader concerns about immigration enforcement, federal-state relations, and the potential impact of President Trump’s policies on states’ rights.
