Just imagine any Democrat saying this about any Republican-controlled area.
If the ‘city of criminals’ thing were remotely true, just imagine 300 guardsman and 700 Marines trying to control 4 million pissed off Angelenos.

They're Not Even Trying To Hide It Anymore
Quote:U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appeared to take a step toward circumventing federal laws that bar the military from taking part in domestic law enforcement in a letter she sent to the Department of Defense Sunday as the National Guard was deployed to Los Angeles amid mass protests over immigration raids.
In a letter obtained by The San Francisco Chronicle, Noem wrote to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth that the Pentagon should direct military forces "to either detain, just as they would at any federal facility guarded by military, lawbreakers under Title 18 until they can be arrested and processed by federal law enforcement, or arrest them."
The Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the military from taking part in domestic law enforcement without the authorization of Congress.
Quote:The secretary indicated in her letter to Hegseth that she would send a formal request in the coming days. She also called for "the transportation of munitions" from Fort Benning and Wyoming, but did not say what the weapons would be used for.

Been there, done that, got a " we descened into fascism" T-shirt.
The problem with posse commitatus is: the Congress has to approve or decline.

You gotta ask yourself one question now: what is Congress most likely to do? Who exactly has a majority, and, based on recent experience, what is Congress most likely going to do?

§3 The president of the Reich must inform the Reichstag without delay of all measures taken in accordance with Paragraphs 1 or 2 of this Article. These measures are to be revoked on the demand of the Reichstag.
Sounds pretty safe, doesn't it?

The hearing is set for Thursday, so hopefully that will put an end to this nonsense.
His pet Congress will let him go ahead with it.
