'Effort to frighten people': Experts warn Noem push a 'prelude' to invoking Insurrection Act

The confrontation escalated on Monday as new #protests occurred & #Defense Secy #PeteHegseth announced—on X—that he was mobilizing 700 #Marines from a base near #LosAngeles to guard federal bldgs. They are expected to join 2k members of the #California #NationalGuard whom #Trump ordered deployed without the authorization of the #state’s #governor, #GavinNewsom, who normally [legally] has command of the #troops.

‘Wildly underprepared’

“This is what happens when the president and (Secretary of Defense) #PeteHegseth demand the National Guard state assets deploy immediately with no plan in place (and) no federal funding available for food, water, fuel and lodging,” the source said. “This is really the failure of the federal government. If you’re going to federalize these troops, then take care of them.”

During his first term, #Trump asked Defense Secretary Mark Esper to shoot protesters. Esper refused.

Now he has #PeteHegseth. God help us all

3/3 Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ): "We have a president who sat back and did nothing as people stormed our Capitol, viciously beat police, and then when those people who viciously beat police and led to some of their deaths - therefore cop killers - were convicted by juries, he pardoned them all. So for him to be talking to anybody about responsive law enforcement to protect people is hypocritical at best."

#California #Governor #GavinNewsom just formally asked #PeteHegseth, the #defense Secy, to rescind #Trump’s #unlawful order to deploy the #NationalGuard in #LosAngeles. “We didn’t have a problem until Trump got involved,” Newsom said in a social media post. “This is a serious breach of #state #sovereignty — inflaming tensions while pulling resources from where they’re actually needed.”

In 2020, #Trump asked #governors of #states to deploy their #NationalGuard troops to DC to *quell* #protests after #GeorgeFloyd’s murder by Minneapolis police officers.

At the time, Trump also threatened to invoke the #InsurrectionAct for protests – an intervention rarely seen in modern American history. But then #Defense Secy Mark Esper pushed back, saying the #law should be invoked “only in the most urgent & dire of situations.”

This time around we’ve got #PeteHegseth in that role.

#tyranny

#Trump’s order did not specify any standards for when #troops would be able use #force — like arresting people or shooting them—if his admin deemed a #protest to threaten #federal personnel, property or functions.

Notably, #PeteHegseth has railed against #military lawyers who promoted what he saw as unduly restrictive rules of engagement aimed at protecting #civilians in war zones. He has fired the top judge advocate general (#JAG) lawyers who give advice on legal constraints.

In a signal of the admin’s aggressive approach, #Defense Secretary #PeteHegseth threatened in a post on X to deploy the #USmilitary.

“If violence continues, active duty #Marines at Camp Pendleton will also be mobilized — they are on high alert,” #Hegseth said.

#Trump federalized part of the #California’s #NationalGuard under what is known as #Title10 authority, which places him, not the governor, atop the chain of command, according to #Newsom’s office.
