If they are detaining citizens, does that count as an act of war?
Only if the people create a resistance army to fight back.
I guess we know our enemy
Compromise,
Conformity,
Assimilation,
Submission,
Ignorance,
Hypocrisy,
Brutality,
The elite.
Ah yes, CCASIHBTE. On brand for yet another acronym that the military loves so much..
All of which are American dreams
Here’s the relevant section of the article that the title is referencing:
He emphasized that while troops can temporarily detain individuals, they must wait for law enforcement officers to make actual arrests.
Unless the guard troops are working directly with law enforcement, or are there at the request of the state, or the Insurrection Act has been invoked, none of which have happened or are the case, then it is completely illegal for them to be detaining anyone for any reason. Those troops should be refusing to follow those illegal orders. As should their commanding officer, but I’m getting the impression this is not a guy with a lot of critical thinking skills.
Unfortunately the Insurrection Act doesnt help when the president is the one leading the insurrection
That makes it like extra double super illegal then, I guess
With only 4000 guard I'm sure they were able to be selective with who they sent.
Even an arrest is temporary if we haven't thrown out due process. Habeas Corpus means a judge has to look at things, and decide to extend the detention until trial. Also, the trial has to be "speedy".
It's probably not good that there is a mechanism for legally detaining someone for months without them being an imminent threat to themselves or others. But, that's been status quo as long as I've been drawing breath, so I'm used to it.

Newsflash: The commander overseeing operations CANNOT temporarily detain people as it is a constitutional violation. What they are trying to say (between the lines) is that they have declared "Martial Law Light".
Shit is about to get (more) stupid.
Ah, the crisp, refreshing taste of diet fascism.
On guys you are Americans! You love full fat milk, full fatty burgers, 100% sugar surely you can get full fascism if you wanted to! You still can't get eggs but hey Kamala had a weird laugh am I right?

"We're there to protect their federal officers, their federal personnel," Sherman said in the interview. "We're there to protect them so that they can do their job."
Negative, commander, you are there to protect the constitutional right of US citizens to safely assemble and express their first amendment right to protest.
Make peaceful revolution possible. That is your duty, son.
Who is this commanders superior officer? Because wtf
The president.
These are direct orders from the commander in chief.

Literally a violation of posse comitatus. You are a traitor, commander.
Military junta with extra steps
Bold of you to assume this about enforcing law (or keeping peace).
This is escalation for the sake of performative leadership. It's another manufactured crisis. They find a manageable problem under someone else's purview, exacerbate it, use the escalation to claim the other party is losing control, step in, and pretend to help while the other party solves the problem, then they take credit and walk away. It's a power grab. Bonus points if it distracts everyone else from the supposed leader's negligence, incompetence, and outright theft. The Big Beautiful Bill isn't drawing the same portion of the public's attention as it was before, is it?
The bullest of shit indeed: enacting cruelty on the vulnerable to enable robbing the overwhelming majority Americans.
This concludes the rant. Thanks for your post. I hope we never stop talking about this and never let future generations forget.
Fuck the fire department, If they can't find a fire they think "why don't we start one"
They can try lol
Under what authority?
To keep the peace and maintain stability in our country and national security abroad I founded the first galactic empire 🗽!
How long is temporary?
More than 3 years according to Vlad.
30 years.
Violence breeds violence, Commander.
In the laaaaaaaaaaand of the freeeeeeee... sing along US friends, you know the words!
Given the lawsuit regarding the electoral votes, the military should be holding the house and president until that lawsuit is finished.
