The Trump administration reportedly plans to mobilize up to 1,700 National Guard troops across 19 states in the coming weeks to support its immigration and anti-crime crackdowns, a dramatic expansion of the controversial operation that’s seen federal agents and Guard troops carrying out activities across Washington, D.C.
The troops, who will largely be activated across Republican-controlled states, will serve in support of the administration’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement operations, as well as other law enforcement priorities, according to comment from unnamed Pentagon officials and documents obtained by Fox News.
“Crime crackdown”.
What fucking crime?
Protests against Trump
Fake problem so he can deploy troops for no reason and later declare victory. Typical Trump bullshit.
Trump smells so much like Hitler.
Hitler had a big problem with flatulence, so you’re probably right.
The Act does not prevent the Army National Guard or the Air National Guard under state authority from acting in a law enforcement capacity within its home state or in an adjacent state if invited by that state’s governor. The United States Coast Guard (under the Department of Homeland Security) is not covered by the Act either, primarily because although it is an armed service, it also has a maritime law enforcement mission.
The title of the Act comes from the legal concept of posse comitatus, the authority under which a county sheriff, or another law officer, can conscript any able-bodied person to assist in keeping the peace.
Anyone who supports trump is a facist. They may not think so, and won’t like being called that. But that’s what they are
Every one of those NG knows this is illegal and they will be dismissed the day before deployment benefits kick in. If Posse Commitatutus doesn’t matter anymore, please just one guy try target practice on the big orange blob
so national military parade times 20
It’s embarrassing that the news media just repeats his “anti-crime” lie.
Yeah, “The Independent” has never lived up to its name, but if you had asked me a decade or two ago, I’d have thought it would draw the line at or before blatant fascist suppression of all dissent…
It wasn’t too bad when it started, but now it’s owned by Lebedev and some Saudi frontman, and it has become increasingly erratic.
It’s not a “crime crackdown” or a “law and order crackdown”. Why does the Independent have to sanitize what he is doing? This is an authoritarian intimidation tactic.
The media is either complicit or already intimidated depending on the outlet.
The Independent is a UK paper. They’re complicit.
It’s paint by numbers dictatorship. They’re literally going through a checklist of how to instill a dictatorship.
Military coup, you asslicking fake journalists.
I don’t know what it originally said, or what you edited, but this is clearly still not quite right…
Yay mobilization against the civilian population was never a bad sign for a government!
President is using American military to invade America as per putin’s instructions.
There is no crime problem (relatively). Just like there is no migrant problem.
But you know what would bring crime down? Equality.
The crime is coming from inside the (white) house.
Not to be paranoid but I have a strange feeling that he’s not leaving after his term is over. This national guard thing might go wrong with people fighting against it then someone will get shot/die and it will be used as a way to gain even more control (like what happened in South Korea minus the better outcome). Or he is going to start a war as a way to stay in power.
Mark my words, they are hoping and expecting reactions, from this especially, but from everything they do.
The actual accelerationists, the ones who mean it, who aren’t cosplaying on the weekends, and who actually have the means to achieve it - are in the White House. Every new instability they cause, and every single violent act from anyone of any stripe, contributes to the chaotically ramped up, militarized, unhinged climate that they precisely want for the next election cycle.
It’s been less than a year. You’re not being paranoid - naive, if anything. You and everyone else should start preparing for the worst - they are really going to try it, and we’ve seen very little opposition from the rest of the US government(s).
That’s been obvious for a long time now. He incited an insurrection the last time he didn’t want to leave office. He’ll do anything and everything he needs to stay in power.
no shit?
