If this doesn’t infuriate you then you’re not paying attention! The Posse Comitatus Act is utterly unambiguous. https://www.brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/posse-comitatus-act-explained. Sending Federal troops to police our cities is nothing but the most flagrant violation of the law. I urge the Governors of California, Oregon and Washington to initiate a mutual self-defense agreement against unlawful actions by the current administration. If this wannabe dictator isn’t stopped now it will be an even bigger mess to stop him later. The (sane) States MUST unite against this dictatorial federal administration.
