ALSO:

Relation to Posse Comitatus Act[edit]
The entire text of the Posse Comitatus Act, as amended in 1956, is as follows:

18 U.S.C. § 1385 – Use of Army and Air Force as posse comitatus

Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army or the Air Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.

NEED DEFINING FURTHER:

Accordingly, actions taken under the Insurrection Act, as an “Act of Congress”, have always been exempt from the Posse Comitatus Act.[2][3]
