Sorry about the poor copy from court news. Here’s an article.
********************
Per the lawsuit, a senior Postal Service Deputy Chief Inspector Craig Goldberg first raised the notion that postal police officers may not be legally permitted to exercise law enforcement authority away from USPS real estate in February. But the union said the agency “routinely” continued to send out postal police to investigate matters off of USPS property.
But that changed last month when Deputy Chief Inspector David Bowers issued an Aug. 25 “National Communication to all Inspection Service Divisions.”
“According to Bowers, Postal Police Officers no longer had any law-enforcement authority, whatsoever, except when they are physically stationed on real estate owned or leased by the Postal Service,” the union described. “Accordingly, Bowers directed that PPOs immediately cease and desist from any and all law-enforcement activity except within postal facilities.”

President Trump Speech at a Ceremony Recognizing the California National Guard
Funny how they understand federalism when Trump wants to help with the riots but accuse him of being a coward when he’s not a pandemic dictator.

WASHINGTON (CN) — Nearly six months after Congress earmarked $8 billion for Native tribes in the CARES Act, the Treasury Department argued to the D.C. Circuit on Friday that it can lawfully hand out portions of the coronavirus relief funds to Alaska Native corporations.
Over a dozen tribes have challenged the plan by the Trump administration to send federal money to the so-called ANCs. They argue Congress intended for the pandemic relief to go only to the 574 tribes — many hard hit by the deadly outbreak and the economic fallout it triggered — that have a government-to-government relationship with the United States.
“Corporations do not have sovereign governmental powers. They do not enjoy the government-to-government relationship with the United States,” attorney Riyaz Kanji, arguing for tribes from Alaska and the Lower 48, said Friday.
U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta first granted a temporary block on the distribution of CARES Act funds to ANCs, but reversed course in his final ruling in June.
“It stands to reason that Congress, in its effort to distribute emergency funds quickly to Indians under the CARES Act, intended to get those dollars in the hands of the same entities that deliver public services to Indians. In the lower 48 states, those entities are largely Tribal governments in the traditional sense, but in Alaska, those entities include Alaska Native village and regional corporations,” the Obama appointee wrote.
The tribes appealing the decision indicated Friday that they may request an extension of the stay currently set to expire on Sep. 15 while the D.C. Circuit considers the case.
Formed in a 1971 agreement between the federal government, the state of Alaska and Alaskan Natives, ANCs argue they are eligible for CARES relief because they provide critical services to Alaskan Natives in remote areas of the state where no federally recognized tribe operates.
U.S. Circuit Judge Patricia Millett questioned Friday if reversing the district court decision would leave individuals in the Last Frontier to suffer without federal relief during the pandemic.
“Would it stay in Alaska in some form or another, or would it be dispersed across the United States?” the Obama appointee asked.
“Treasury’s allocation formula is a black box for those of us on the outside,” Kanji said, admitting he did not know where the funding would ultimately land.
Facing a question along the same lines from U.S. Circuit Judge Karen L. Henderson, a George H.W. Bush appointee, the attorney reassured the court that the state of Alaska is also providing emergency relief funding.
“They certainly won’t be left out in the cold,” Kanji said of the Alaskan Native communities.
The dispute comes down to whether ANCs fall under the definition of “Indian tribe.” In drafting the coronavirus relief bill, Congress pointed to language in the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act that has spurred divergent interpretations of the 1975 law during the months-long legal battle that ensued.
The Trump administration has firmly argued that the uniquely situated corporations qualify as Indian tribes under the self-determination statute.
“It’s not like they were just kind of throwing the kitchen sink at anything that could possibly exist in Alaska,” Justice Department attorney Adam C. Jed said.
However, the tribes argued Friday that the district court ultimately failed to concede that the term “recognized” as it appears in the CARES Act is a legal term of art referring to federally recognized tribes.
Turning to what other federal relief may be available to the ANCs, Henderson asked whether the corporations had sought money from the Paycheck Protection Program, which provided funds for businesses to make payroll and cover other operating expenses.
Attorney Paul D. Clement, arguing for the ANCs, said the corporations had applied for relief under the program, but quickly followed up that it was not relevant to the arguments before the D.C. Circuit.
He warned the three-judge panel that concluding the ANCs are ineligible for CARES relief would have serious repercussions for Alaskan Natives.
He said because the Treasury Department had distributed the money to tribes based on population, the large number of Natives registered as employees for ANCs rather than with a particular Alaskan tribe would miss out.
“Alaskan Natives will be systemically undercounted in the allocation of funds,” Clement said.
But the tribes argued just the opposite, that including the ANC workforces would disadvantage Natives both in Alaska and the Lower 48.
“Because it would bring all those large multinational corporation employees within that count . . . There would be a much more important overcount problem,” Kanji said.
But Millet countered the warning by saying that problem does not arise under the Treasury Department view of the statute including ANCs as eligible for federal aid.
U.S. Circuit Judge Gregory Katsas, appointed by President Donald Trump, rounded out the panel.

Worth remembering [think what you see today].
https://2009-2017.state.gov/documents/organization/119629.pdf
Insurgency can be defined as ‘the organized use of subversion and violence to seize, nullify, or challenge political control of a region.’
Insurgents seek to subvert or displace the government and completely or partially control the resources and population of a given territory. They do so through the use of force (including guerrilla warfare, terrorism and coercion/intimidation), propa- ganda, subversion and political mobilization. Insurgents fight government forces only to the extent needed to achieve their political aims: their main effort is not to kill counterinsurgents, but rather to establish a competitive system of control over the population, making it impossible for the government to administer its territory and people. Insurgent activity is therefore designed to weaken government control and legitimacy while increasing insurgent control and influence.
Insurgents require supporters, recruits, safe havens, money, supplies, weapons and intelligence on government actions. A robust insurgency can be waged with the support of just a small percentage of a given population.
NEXT:
Counterinsurgency may be defined as ‘comprehensive civilian and military efforts taken to simultaneously defeat and contain insurgency and address its root causes’.
