Page 2 <br /> At no time did the Governor of California issue orders to the California National Guard as required by federal <br /> law. The actions of President Trump appear to be in clear violation of the plain text of the statute. <br /> We therefore are calling for an immediate investigation into whether federal law was violated in federalizing <br /> and deploying the National Guard to Los Angeles. We also are calling for a full investigation and review of the <br /> legal checks and processes carried out prior to the execution of a military order to ensure such orders are lawful. <br /> The federal government, including the executive branch, is constrained by the powers given to it in the <br /> Constitution and federal statute. It is imperative that actions taken by this administration, like all <br /> administrations, fall within the bounds of the law. <br /> Thank you for your immediate consideration and we expect an appropriate response to these questions in the <br /> near future. <br /> Sincerely, <br /> ) , <br /> Mike Thompson Nancy Pelosi <br /> Member of Congress Member of Congress <br /> Norma J.
