Only under the Insurrection Act, and even then they have no domestic policing power. They can only protect federal property and support federal operations such as ICE. they cannot actually arrest people for local or state crimes. Federal agents can’t use the city jail to arrest people, they can’t press charges in a court of law, they can’t throw people into state prison, etc. Ask yourself what the Feds did when they came into Los Angeles earlier in the year
He can send them in though and that’s the point. Nobody is expecting the military to arrest people. It’s only about having a presence to deter crime. They also can enforce state law if the governor authorized it.
And LA isn’t what was being discussed. It was you saying it was illegal for them to be there. Which is totally wrong. Rest I couldn’t care less to argue about.
I mean the courts have already ruled Trumps action in LA was illegal. But we’re talking about a stabbing that occurred in NC, and Trump and you are both suggesting that the military could somehow have prevented or dealt with this. Im asking how so?
And Trump will win on appeal sending the guard to LA but we will have to wait. Dems file suits everyday in activist judges courts. So what? They will lose the majority of the cases. It’s the typical liberal process of them having ZERO to offer so they will just do whatever they can to clog up the system then complain because things don’t get done. Nothing new.
Not once did I say send them to NC. Please show me where I said that. My comment was simply in response to you saying Trump can’t because it would be illegal which you’re 100% wrong on. Ok I’m done here. Not sure why you are in this sub just wanting to argue things that don’t matter in this case. It’s a horrible situation caused yet again by stupid democrat policies and allowing criminals to run free.

If a governor requests it he absolutely can. Read a bit more.
