As some analyst on Fox said last night, all President Trump would have to do to legally circumvent democrat complaints he is violating the Posse Comitatus Act is implant one border patrol agent into every squad of active duty soldiers on the border. So technically the border patrol agent would be making all formal detentions and arrests and the active duty military would not be performing any “law enforcement” activities.

Defense of the border, AT the border, from a foreign invasion is not a Posse Comitatus event. That is most literally what the military is for.

Thats it’s main job.

Does NORAD worry about posse comitatus when they send an interceptor to catch someone crossing our national goal line? Nope...
