President Trump is deploying the National Guard in a way that no president has done before. He and his supporters say it’s necessary to address acute situations in various U.S. cities. But it’s drawing mixed reactions among the residents of those cities, and in U.S. courts. WSJ White House reporter Natalie Andrews and Supreme Court correspondent Jess Bravin discuss what these troops are doing on the ground, the legal questions coming into play and what this could mean for other cities. Alex Ossola hosts.
