BY JORDAN FABIAN - 02/23/17 11:36 AM EST
President Trump on Thursday called his effort to ramp up deportations a military operation aimed at ridding the U.S. of really bad dudes ...
The Department of Homeland Security guidelines vastly increase the number of immigrants who are considered priorities for deportation. They also direct law enforcement agencies to hire thousands of new agents to apprehend people living in the country illegally, with local police and sheriffs offices enlisted in the effort.
The military, however, is not involved. The guidelines did not adopt a draft plan to enlist National Guard troops to help apprehend undocumented immigrants in nearly a dozen states ...

It scares me that they are going to hire and rush train (or not train) new goons.

(7,574 posts)new agents. They must be trained first. Who is going to pay for training and salaries? Is it a permanent job? Are the currently unemployed going to want to try this new occupation?

Under title 10
Use of Militia and Armed Forces to Enforce Federal Authority.
Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, assemblages, or rebellion make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any state or territory, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any state. This is another statutory exception to the PCA.
It would depend on how the terms unlawful obstructions and assemblages, are defined by the Federal court system!

(6,385 posts)...140 year old act intended to restrict the use of federal military on US soil. Probably moot at this point given the Homeland Security exemption and the militarization of local police forces and ICE but still...it's out there.

What exactly is the definition of an unlawful obstruction?
The National Defense Authorization Act 2008 Pub.L. 110-181
Repeals provisions in section 1076 in Pub.L. 109-364 but still enables the President to call up the National Guard of the United States for active federal military service during Congressionally sanctioned national emergency or war. Places the National Guard Bureau directly under the Department of Defense as a joint activity. Promoted the Chief of the National Guard Bureau from a three-star to a four-star general.
"Congressionally sanctioned national emrgency or war"
There are ways to get around the PCA!

(11,686 posts)something like it and probably worse. Someone the other day showed a picture of Trump supporters standing with guns and I said to get used to it because he will soon be hiring people to do that on purpose. He is not going to just attack Muslims and people from Hispanic countries. We are going to be listened to and watched to make sure we are not against him. He is a dictator.
