Michigan National Guard refusal of federalization

On February 5, 2021, hours after U.S. President Tom Kirkman signed an executive order to federalize the Michigan National Guard in response to the ongoing civil rights crisis, the commanding general formally refused the order and publicly denounced Kirkman as an illegitimate president. He subsequently declared that the guard stands behind Michigan governor James Royce, its "true commander-in-chief."
