Posse Comitatus is relevant. Most right wing policies get held up in Court, because the right wing is clueless, and Causeless.So trump is sending our military to the border.
What are they going to do there?
They can't do anything beyond just standing there and maybe smile.
The Posse Comitatus Act prevents our military from being used to enforce any domestic policies or law in the United States.
It basically prevents the military from doing what trump is trying to use them for.
They can't police the border beyond just standing there. They can't use their weapons nor can they take any action to enforce our domestic immigration laws. They can't arrest anyone, they have no authority. They can't legally do anything beyond stand there and smile.
There is no good reason to send out military to the border. All trump is doing is putting on a show for the election. I wouldn't be surprised if on November 7th next week he withdraws those federal military troops from the border.
Posse Comitatus Act - Wikipedia
The limits of military action will be determined by Trump and Trump alone based on his declaration of the invasion.
If he invokes the Insurrection Act Posse Comitatus does not apply.
Look it up.
Posse Comitatus does not apply in any case, as the Act does not have the authority of a constitutional amendment, and therefore changes nothing regarding the mandate contained in Article Four.
