Trump's Expanded Domestic Military Use Should Worry Us All | ACLU

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

37% : There's growing concern that President Donald Trump might invoke the Insurrection Act to bring National Guard troops under federal control and deploy them within the U.S.
36% : This speculation may be partly because one of President Trump's Inauguration Day executive orders, which declared a national emergency at the southern border set an April 20 deadline for the Departments of Defense and Homeland Security to recommend whether to use the Insurrection Act.
28% : Make no mistake: If Trump invokes the Insurrection Act to activate federalized troops for mass deportation -- whether at the border or somewhere else in the country -- it would be unprecedented, unnecessary, and wrong.
28% : It's worth repeating that there is no invasion of America, and if President Trump doubts that, he could consult himself.
20% : Let's step back a bit first and recall the military's proper, limited role on U.S. soil, and the dangerous steps President Trump is already taking in service of his cruel anti-immigrant, anti-American agenda.
