LANSING – Yesterday State Representatives Laurie Pohutsky (D-Livonia) and Tyrone Carter (D-Detroit) introduced legislation that would prohibit the deployment of an armed military force into the state without the approval of the Governor, or a valid order from the President.  This comes on the heels of President Donald Trump placing police in Washington D.C. under federal control and activating the National Guard.  However, House Speaker, Matt Hall, says this bill won’t be supported by republicans, as he supports President Trump’s effort to add resources to police to try and crack down on crime.
