#Trump declares martial law trial
The martial law concept in the United States is closely tied with the right of habeas corpus, which is, in essence, the right to a hearing and trial on lawful imprisonment, or more broadly, the supervision of law enforcement by the judiciary.
In the United States, martial law has been used in a limited number of circumstances, such as New Orleans during the Battle of New Orleans after major disasters, such as the Great Chicago Fire of 1871, the 1906 San Francisco earthquake, or during riots, such as the Omaha race riot of 1919 or the 1920 Lexington riots local leaders declared martial law to protect themselves from mob violence, such as Nauvoo, Illinois, during the Illinois Mormon War, or Utah during the Utah War or in response to chaos associated with protests and rioting, such as the 1934 West Coast waterfront strike, in Hawaii after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor, and during the Civil Rights Movement in response to the Cambridge riot of 1963. In each state, the governor has the right to impose martial law within the borders of the state. On a national level, both the US President and the US Congress have the power to impose martial law since both can be in charge of the militia. Martial law in the United States refers to times in United States history in which a region, state, city, or the whole United States was placed under the control of a military body.
