Donald Trump's move to send National Guard troops and Marines to Los Angeles amid unrest over his immigration policies has given new weight to a lingering question: How far can a president go in using the military to quell domestic disturbances?

President Trump has expanded domestic use of the armed forces, testing the limits on involving troops at protests and the border.
