I recall the concerns the country had when the department was created. An occupying militarized force was one of them. The original mission seems quaint by comparison.

Paragraph 1353 allows for payment by private entities but it doesn’t specify pay and allowances. I supposed it could be termed by the GAO as distributed for subsistence but it still ain’t right and gives the impression the military is for hire.

I presume the impact area was whiskey or zulu. And one or more of the special use airspaces was in effect. And that the appropriate ammo was being used. The range operations manual is explicit and any deviation will be uncovered in the investigation. Closing the highway was a good risk mitigation.

“The president’s judgement is unreviewable” is the very definition of tyranny.

@govpritzker.illinois.gov Time to start framing this administration’s actions as tyranny. Especially since Miler offered publicly on CNN that Teump has “plenary” power.

Afraid of a collapsing center because he won’t be able to both sides his takes and will have to hold his nose and be absorbed by and relegated to anonymity within the “progressive epistemic bubble”. Too much independent journalism is staking a position in the culture war. It lacks principle.

This treaty still applies. The treaty is also outlined in the law off war manual updated 2023. It’s a fair argument that genocide as defined here has been committed.

Here is an FOIA redacted document of the standing CJCS ROE c2008. The point being it’s not legal to indiscriminately bomb civilians. The supplemental ROE for this mission would be found at CENTCOM and would be classified. An investigation is warranted.

Here is the text of the ACA with El Salvador. I’m confused on how it results in prison for the immigrants and it specifically says they are the responsibility of the US until the transfer process is complete. Seems relevant to the TRO.

There is an entire US code devoted to executive branch conduct and ethics. There are observable breaches of the regulations contained in the statute. Including having to have signed a pledge to act in this manner.

Federalist #25 focuses on the arguments over raising and maintaining a standing federal army. A corrupt legislature colluding with the executive to oppress states based on fabricated “pretences of approaching danger” was dismissed as ludicrous due to checks and balances.
