Applicability: The law applies to the Army and Air Force, but not the National Guard. "

Yes, the National Guard can make arrests, but under specific circumstances depending on who has command and the applicable laws, such as the Posse Comitatus Act. When under state control (e.g., activated by a governor), National Guard members can perform law enforcement duties and make arrests within that state. However, federalized National Guard troops (under presidential control) are restricted by the Posse Comitatus Act and can only arrest in situations where they are specifically authorized, such as by the Insurrection Act or if they are deputized by a law enforcement agency.
Under state control
A state governor can activate the National Guard to perform law enforcement duties, including making arrests.
This is an exception to the restrictions on military involvement in domestic law enforcement.
Examples include situations where National Guard troops are deployed to enforce state laws or respond to emergencies within their state.
Under federal control
The Posse Comitatus Act generally prohibits the use of federal military forces, including the National Guard, for domestic law enforcement.
Federalized National Guard troops are subject to this restriction and cannot make arrests unless a specific exception applies.
One exception is when the president invokes the Insurrection Act, which allows for the use of military forces for domestic law enforcement.
Another exception is if the troops are deputized by a state or federal law enforcement agency.
Even without the power to make full arrests, federalized troops can sometimes temporarily detain individuals until civilian law enforcement arrives to take custody.
The DC National Guard
The DC National Guard has a unique status because it can be controlled by the President as its commander-in-chief, and is not subject to the same federal restrictions as the rest of the National Guard.
Because of this, the DC National Guard is authorized to perform law enforcement duties like traffic control, crowd management, and making arrests, and can also temporarily detain individuals until federal, state, or city law enforcement arrives.

#22. I am not aware of our military arresting anyone or engaging in police activity.

That's because you don't read real news. You do opeds from national review.

Educate yourself.

A federal court has ruled that President Trump's use of the National Guard around Los Angeles violates the Posse Comitatus Act, which bars the military from participating in civilian law enforcement unless doing so has been expressly authorized by Congress. U.S. District Judge Charles Breyer ordered the administration to stop using soldiers in California for activities such as arrests, searches, traffic or crowd control, and interrogation.

Every press secretary has been "fun read"-worthy, but Karoline is particularly deserved.

Evangelicals are hysterically forgiving of their personal failures.

Death In June Power Has a Fragrance

This -------
It has no charms
Silence and evil weigh down my arms
We know our god
By the things he creates
Life, beauty, but most of all hate

Tell me your torment
On unholy ground
Think of the times
Life turned around
Power has a fragnance
How kreepy it krawls
Power has a fragnance
Let loose wehrwolves

This -------
It has no charms
Silence and evil weigh down my arms
We know our gods
By the things they create
Love, beauty, but most of all hate

#101 The "Democratic party loses so damn much? Did you miss the news earlier this month?

-> Georgia voters ousted two Republican members of the state's Public Service Commission in favor of two Democrats"the first Democrats to win statewide nonfederal offices in decades.

-> Democrats in Mississippi Break the G.O.P.'s State House Supermajority

-> Every single county in Virginia - even deeply red counties - saw shifts TOWARDS the Democrats, as opposed to how they voted 1 year ago.

-> Dems flip Wichita School Board from a 4-3 GOP majority to a 5-2 Democratic majority. Democratic candidates Amy Warren and Amy Jensen defeated Republican incumbents Hazel Stabler and Kathy Bond.

->Two of Tuesday's school board elections were in Bucks County, Pa., which was considered "ground zero" for right-wing groups' takeover of school boards in 2021. A few years ago, conservatives on these boards in Pennbridge and Central Bucks districts were using their roles to pass policies targeting LGBTQ+ students and banning books.

---> Democrats flipped control of both boards in 2023, and on Tuesday, they ousted every Republican from both of these boards, except for one. The Pennbridge school board is now 8-1, with Democratic members in control. The Central Bucks school board is 9-0.

-> In Texas, we even won in Lockhart, which sits in a district so red that Democrats normally don't even run. We had a clean sweep in Cy-Fair ISD, another deeply red area that not even Greg Abbott could save your party.

-> In SD-9, another red district, we saw an 8 point shift for the Democrat
