WASHINGTON — Active-duty Marines, soldiers and some airmen will begin arriving at the southern border to perform logistical tasks Wednesday, one day before the expiration of Title 42.
“The specific timeline for deployments is still being determined, however, the initial active-duty military personnel will be on the ground on or about May 10, 2023,” US Northern Command said in a statement.
“The majority of active duty personnel will come from the US Army and US Marines, although a small number of US Air Force personnel will also deploy.”
The troops will come from three battalion-size units — the 2nd Marine Regiment and Combat Logistics Battalion 2 of the 2nd Marine Division at Camp Lejeune, North Carolina, as well as the 93rd Military Police Battalion of the 89th Military Police Brigade at Fort Bliss, Texas, according to NORTHCOM.

“perform logistical tasks”
“Really, you need 15,000 US Marines to essentially push paperwork to make it easier to invade the country.”
No sarcasm, that is exactly what they are being sent there to do...
Where are all these illegals going once they get into the country?
Where do they reside. What is their source(s) of income?
Just a few questions I’d like to have answered.
so they’ll be bringing ipads and not SAW’s?
YOU NEED 150,000 or more.
Read the post I was responding to, the post sarcastically said 15,000 which my reply was also sarcasm.
What about the Posse Comitatus act. The only exception I have read about is to supress an insurection. Should not have ability to send Marines to the border just to do “paperwork”. or so says the white house witch.
Post heavy machine gun crews every 100 yards. When the horde arrives, fire over their heads and if they don’t stop, cut ALL the invaders down with .50 caliber automatic fire.
For processing? ZERO enforcement!
Operation “Almost-there”?
“What about the Posse Comitatus act.”
Exactly right. Unless they fully operate on the Mexican side of the border this is an illegal unconstitutional deployment.
Logistics = Planning and organization. Why send the Marines for that? You might as well send clerk typists.
Stupid RINOS are cheering that Biden is “finally doing something” on the border. Too stupid to see that it is the opposite what they want, and that it is both illegal and unconstitutional.
The idiots are going to fall for this lock, stock, and barrel.
U.S. Constitution - Article 4 Section 4
Article 4 - The States
Section 4 - Republican Government
The United States shall guarantee to every State in this Union a Republican Form of Government, and shall protect each of them against Invasion; and on Application of the Legislature, or of the Executive (when the Legislature cannot be convened) against domestic Violence.
Seems to me, if your purview is protecting against invasion, and over half a million people waiting to Rush your line seems to apply, then I don’t think the ground your standing on is a major factor.
But what do I know, I’m not a shyster.
What does the Posse Comitatus Act say?
The Posse Comitatus Act consists of just one sentence: “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.”
In practice, this means that members of the military who are subject to the law may not participate in civilian law enforcement unless doing so is expressly authorized by a statute or the Constitution.
Are all members of the military covered by the Posse Comitatus Act?
No, only federal military personnel are covered. While the Posse Comitatus Act refers only to the Army and Air Force, a different statute extends the same rule to the Navy and Marine Corps. The Coast Guard, though part of the federal armed forces, has express statutory authority to perform law enforcement and is not bound by the Posse Comitatus Act.
Members of the National Guard are rarely covered by the Posse Comitatus Act because they usually report to their state or territory’s governor. That means they are free to participate in law enforcement if doing so is consistent with state law. However, when Guard personnel are called into federal service, or “federalized,” they become part of the federal armed forces, which means they are bound by the Posse Comitatus Act until they are returned to state control.
What are the main statutory exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act?
There are many statutory exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act, but the most important one is the Insurrection Act. Under this law, in response to a state government’s request, the president may deploy the military to suppress an insurrection in that state. In addition, the Insurrection Act allows the president — with or without the state government’s consent — to use the military to enforce federal law or suppress a rebellion against federal authority in a state, or to protect a group of people’s civil rights when the state government is unable or unwilling to do so.
What are the constitutional exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act?
There are no constitutional exceptions to the Posse Comitatus Act. The law allows only for express exceptions, and no part of the Constitution expressly empowers the president to use the military to execute the law. This conclusion is consistent with the law’s legislative history, which suggests that its drafters chose to include the language about constitutional exceptions as part of a face-saving compromise, not because they believed any existed.
This has not stopped the Department of Defense from claiming that constitutional exceptions to the law exist. The Department has long claimed that the Constitution implicitly gives military commanders “emergency authority” to unilaterally use federal troops “to quell large-scale, unexpected civil disturbances” when doing so is “necessary” and prior authorization by the president is impossible. In the past, the department also claimed an inherent constitutional power to use the military to protect federal property and functions when local governments could not or would not do so. The validity of these claimed authorities has never been tested in court.
Imagine getting the order to help the invading army walk right across your line.
“Good intentions” or not, what he is about to do is illegal. He can only deploy the Coast Guard and/or National Guard inside our borders.
This is “softing us up” to accept the illegal use of military for civilian purposes. If not nipped in the bud they will next be illegally deployed against U.S. Citizens inside the boundaries of our Nation.
You need one bullet each, Coyote brain. Make them afraid to shepherd invaders over. Wreck the cartels’ business model.
One bullet in each Coyote’s brain.
Agreed. However, most city PDs and the FBI are defacto work arounds to this.
The patriot act erased that line of the constitution.
The national guard yes, but no one else. Unfortunately TX does not have enough NG to handle the end of title 42. It’s expected to be a takeover event.
I was thinking that number is less than one Marine per mile. Those guys are good, but come on!
