The #SCOTUS indicated that it WOULDN'T RULE on Trump's attempt to send the #NationalGuard to #Chicago after Trump sought information whether "regular forces" means military. So, Trump might be stripped ENTIRELY of his power to deploy the military into cities under #Title10!

Trump’s Pentagon ordered National Guard to create “quick reaction forces” for “public order” policing, making riot control a domestic mission under executive command. #Trump #CivilMilitary #PublicOrder #Authoritarianism #Project2025 #Pentagon #USMilitary #NationalGuard #Title10 #Title32 #TheGuardian

Oregon Governor Tina Kotek’s demobilization order, backed by a federal court injunction, turned a contested activation into an operational standstill, reaffirming constitutional checks on executive use of the Guard. #Oregon #NationalGuard #CivilMilitary #Title10 #Kotek #USNORTHCOM #9thCircuit #OPB
I just had a great call with @vanhollen.senate.gov and @alsobrooks.senate.gov. I specifically brought up my background in #NationalSecurity and #tRump repeated violations of #PosseComitatus. I am pleased they’re introducing amendments to #NDAA to protect us from OUR OWN #Military! #Title10 #Title32
In addition to not being a blank check for PotUS, it's definitely not there so one governor can decide to use their state's #NationalGuard to violate another state's sovereignty. Abbott can go fk himself with his attempt at abusing #Title10 & #Title32.
If you don't know the difference between Title 32 and Title 10 status for the National Guard, this video will help immensely. The difference is key with Trump's strategy to control his agenda in blue states. Our court system will prove vital in the coming weeks and months ahead.

…A 19th-century #law, the #PosseComitatusAct, generally prohibits the use of the US #military for domestic civilian law enforcement, absent an #insurrection. But #Trump did not invoke the #InsurrectionAct. Rather, he argued that an overarching federal law, #Title10 of the US Code, which lays out […]
Watch these tells:
• Great Lakes access approved
• Guard units switched to Title 10
• “Obstruction” language from DHS/DoD
• Perimeter/security missions that look like logistics—then uniforms on corners. 10/

Flip the Guard: Governors can say “no,” but the White House can federalize state Guard under Title 10 citing “obstruction.”
That moves units from the governor to federal command—ready to “assist” DHS on city streets. 4/

Trump names Chicago, New York, Baltimore, Oakland, and Los Angeles as possible federal troop deployment sites, signaling an escalation in domestic military posturing and psychological pressure on city leaders. #Trump #NationalGuard #TIME #Title10 #PosseComitatus
Trump’s use of 10 U.S.C. § 12406 to federalize the Guard in Los Angeles, California, protests sets a precedent for legally framed domestic deployments in politically charged contexts; future targets may include other named cities. #Trump #Title10 #NationalGuard #PosseComitatus #Reuters

That request centers on a 19th-century #law, the #PosseComitatusAct, that generally makes it illegal to use the #military for #domestic law enforcement.

“Under their view, they can just do the whole process without consulting the governor at all & then slap his name on the top of the [proclamation] after.”
