The #military is generally barred under federal laws from taking part in #domestic #LawEnforcement. Granting #KristiNoem’s request would likely require the admin to sidestep those laws by invoking the #InsurrectionAct, 2 legal experts said….However, a #DHS spox suggested Tues that the request was not granted after Noem & #PeteHegseth met w/ #Trump, saying, “The posture of our brave troops has not changed.”#law #PosseComitatusAct #democracy #RightToProtest #tyranny #LosAngeles #immigration

#KristiNoem also asked #PeteHegseth for “drone surveillance support” in her letter as well as #weapons & logistics assistance in #LosAngeles. By Monday, the #Defense Dept had deployed 700 #Marines to the city, where they were to join more than 2,000 federalized #California #NationalGuard #troops in quelling… #immigration #protests. CA sued in response, with Gov. #GavinNewsom calling the deployment a “manufactured crisis” & an “unmistakable step toward #authoritarianism.”#law #PosseComitatusAct

State Sen. #ScottWiener, D-San Francisco, said #KristiNoem’s request for #military arrests was ominous & out of proportion in a country where “intense #protests have happened throughout history.”“This isn’t what happens in a #democracy, this is what happens in a #dictatorship,”Wiener said. “We have a time-honored tradition in the #UnitedStates that the military does not enforce #civilian #law.”#Trump #PosseComitatusAct #RightToProtest #FreedomOfAssembly #authoritarianism #tyranny #immigration

@Nonilex Nice that he said that, but whereas the call to the military to disobey illegal orders? Toothless w/o that
