In the latest episode of KABATALKS, brothers Brian and John Kabateck dive into one of California’s most contentious political stories: the deployment of federal troops to Los Angeles during ICE raids and growing street protests.
Brian Kabateck, founding attorney of Kabateck LLP and nationally recognized consumer advocate, squares off with his brother John Kabateck, President of Kabateck Strategies, over whether President Trump’s actions represent necessary law enforcement or dangerous constitutional overreach.
The brothers dissect the legal framework for National Guard deployment without gubernatorial consent, examining historical precedents and constitutional boundaries. Their discussion tackles whether federal intervention crosses critical legal and political lines.
The conversation extends to broader political ramifications for the Republican Party, including potential long-term consequences with Latino voters and how this controversy might reshape the 2026 midterm elections and California’s political future.
This episode showcases the Kabateck brothers’ signature mix of legal insight and political debate as they grapple with constitutional questions that strike at the heart of federal authority versus state sovereignty.
KABATALKS continues to deliver engaging conversations at the intersection of law, politics, and policy, with the Kabateck brothers bringing their distinct viewpoints to the most pressing issues facing California and the nation.
