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.

700 Marines ordered to assist in Los Angeles

A U.S. official confirmed 700 Marines from Twentynine Palms, California, have been ordered to assist in Los Angeles. They are expected to arrive over the next 24 hours.

The Marines are from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines at Twentynine Palms, California, whom U.S. Northern Command had said Sunday were on a "prepared to deploy status" if the Defense Department needed them.

They will join 300 California National Guardsmen who are on Title 10 federalized active duty status in California. Those National Guardsmen were mobilized by Trump through Title 10 authorities and are under the command of U.S. Northern Command.

"We'll see what happens. I mean, I think we have it very well under control. I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction. It's now heading in the right direction," President Donald Trump told ABC News' Karen Travers.

Which they are not allowed to do.

Did he suspend the Posse Comitatus Act and no one reported it?

Piece of shit traitor. America will swallow him whole when this is over.

what stops a member of the armed services from denying a command or order if it is unlawful? what about if it may be unlawful? (ie needs to be proven as such but “right now” just smells unlawful?)

Right... Because you need 700 highly trained military personnel to deal with civilians.

Cool and normal! 😬

I hope their always faithful to their country, not their dictator

This makes sense because establishing a beachhead on Iwo Jima and managing a rowdy crowd are similar skills

From what I've heard about the high integrity of the U.S. Marines, I wouldn't be surprised to see them on the civilian side of the line.
