To deploy US Military on US soil is prohibited unless pursuant to invoking the Insurrection Act.
The President must have invoked the Insurrection Act if the Pentagon has authorized the deployment of active US military in DC.
Active duty can by used domestically in surveillance, intelligence gathering, observation, along with using equipment dealing with counter-terrorism threats. Ever hear of USNORTHCOM/NORTHCOM as well as the United States Military Commissions Act of 2006 and what is it in charge of/overwrites in terms of the Posse Comitatus Act. Thank George Bush and the Republican controlled Congress at the time for those.
If that’s true wouldn’t the left be screamiNG bloody murder?
POTUS invoked it on 9 January.
