The US military is now allegedly authorized to kill Americans on US soil, according to a headline from Zero Hedge and Armageddon Pros. This claim stems from a reissued Department of Defense (DOD) directive, specifically DOD directive 5240.01, reissued on September 27, 2024. The directive governs Department of Defense intelligence activities and now includes provisions authorizing lethal force in certain circumstances, supplanting the 2016 version, which did not mention that. Section 3.3 addresses assistance to law enforcement agencies and other civil authorities. It states that defense intelligence components may provide personnel to assist law enforcement when lives are in danger. Approval is granted for responding with assets with the potential for lethality or any situation where the use of force is likely to result in death or serious bodily injury.

United States marines and national guardsmen are helping to create a peaceful environment for ICE and border patrol, who were being attacked with rocks and needed reinforcements, so that raids and deportations can continue. The president understands the legal authority that he invoked. The president wants to see an end to the chaos and the violence. He doesn't want to see law enforcement officers being attacked. He wants to see peace. He wants law abiding Californians to be able to bring their kids to school, to be able to go to work without seeing this violence in the streets. That's what the president's hoping for, and that's why he's taken this action.

Senator Alyssa Slotkin, Senator Mark Kelly, Representative Chris DeLuzio, Congresswoman Maggie Goodlander, Representative Chrissy Houlihan, and Congressman Jason Crow spoke directly to members of the military and the intelligence community. They emphasized that those who take risks daily to keep Americans safe are under enormous stress and pressure, and that Americans’ trust in the military is at risk. They asserted that the current administration is pitting our uniformed military and intelligence community professionals against American citizens. They reminded listeners that those who swore an oath to protect and defend the constitution must recognize that threats to the Constitution are not only abroad but also at home. They underscored that laws are clear: you can refuse illegal orders, you must refuse illegal orders, and no one has to carry out orders that violate the law or the constitution. They acknowledged the difficulty of public service but emphasized that vigilance is critical whether one is serving in the CIA, the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, or another branch. The speakers stated that the nation’s guardians—whether in the CIA, the Army, the Navy, or the Air Force—have the duty to stand up for the laws and for the Constitution and for who Americans are. They affirmed that they will back the service members and intelligence professionals, reinforcing that now more than ever the American people need them to stand up for our laws and for the Constitution. They urged not to give up, to stay true to their oaths, and to remember: don’t give up, don’t give up the ship.

The speaker claims the military is controversial because it is over the target and that President Trump inherited a demoralized military that couldn't recruit. Since Trump's election, there has been a recruiting renaissance across all branches, with waiting lists for police and fire departments as well. Retention is up because service members now have a real commander in chief. The military is reinforcing standards, welcoming back those forced out by COVID mandates, and removing wokeness, DEI, and trans policies. Fort Benning and Fort Bragg are back to normal. The speaker states they are rebuilding the military, reassuring allies, and deterring enemies. They found nearly $6 billion in savings to reinvest, including $50 billion from the Biden administration's climate-focused initiatives. The speaker says they aim to wisely spend the first trillion-dollar budget on warfighters. They claim to have achieved 100% operational control of the border, with 11,000 troops now able to detain illegals and hand them over to CBP. NATO allies are stepping up, the Houthis are feeling American power, and they are deterring communist China. The speaker believes they are making the military great again due to President Trump's leadership.

Speaker 0 describes new information from a source familiar with the incident: the two survivors climbed back onto the boat after the initial strike. They were believed to be potentially communicating with others and salvaging some of the drugs. Because of that behavior, it was determined they were still in the fight and valid targets. A JAG officer was also providing legal advice. Speaker 1 interprets this as supportive of the second strike, stating that the mission is to take out the boat, stop the drugs, and keep the vessel and its cargo from reaching shore using lethal means. The speaker credits the United States Armed Forces as heroic and asserts that they "did exactly that." Speaker 1 then shifts to a political statement attributed to President Trump and others, declaring that they, along with Secretary Haigseth and the entire government, are committed to using the military to defend the American people, borders, family, culture, history, and heritage. The speaker contends that the aim is to defend The United States and to avoid pursuing efforts to build democracies in distant regions such as in the Middle East. The assertion is that the military will be used to protect American security, American prosperity, and American lives in the United States, where people live and where children live, rather than engaging in overseas nation-building. Summary of key points: - Two survivors reportedly climbed back onto the boat after the initial strike and were believed to be communicating with others and salvaging drugs. - Their actions led to the determination that they remained in the fight and valid targets, with a JAG officer providing legal advice. - This information is described as backing up a second strike, with the mission defined as taking out the boat, stopping the drugs, and preventing the vessel and its cargo from reaching shore using lethal means. - President Trump, Secretary Haigseth, and the administration are portrayed as determined to use the military to defend American people, borders, family, culture, history, and heritage, and to avoid efforts to impose democracy-building in the Middle East. - The overarching claim is that the military will protect American security, prosperity, and lives at home.

Trump's plan to use the military for deportations is deeply concerning. The military is not trained for domestic issues, and this approach misuses its role. Past actions, like the Lafayette Square incident and attempts to seize ballots, raise further alarm about potential military overreach. In response, Democrats are considering various strategies to push back, including legal action, congressional efforts, and public protests. While discussions are ongoing among different groups, there is a collective effort to prevent the implementation of harmful policies and protect constitutional rights. There are significant concerns about the implications of Trump's proposals and the need for vigilance against abuses of power.

The Canadian Armed Forces can assist domestic law enforcement in Canada as needed under the National Defence Act. This is part of their responsibility to support civil authority when required. It is essential to have this capacity in place for future threats.

There are two types of forces: domestic soil and the National Guard. The president deploys the National Guard in DC, but governors deploy them in other states unless the president invokes the Insurrectionary Act. The speaker suggests a campaign urging Democratic governors to commit to deploying the National Guard only to protect people from white supremacists and rogue police, not against the people. The speaker, who has been anti-military, believes this is preferable to civilians facing armed conflict. Drawing on a past success in the 80s where a governor refused to send the National Guard to Central America, the speaker suggests engaging with National Guard members, who are often working-class, and believes they may be less entrenched than the police. The goal is to consider how the National Guard might be deployed on behalf of the people instead of against them.

Speaker 0: Military assistance in illegal border crossings? Chris, come back up. We're in a public area. Immigrants are entering our country through the Texas border, Eagle Pass. The military is willingly aiding them. This includes men, women, and children. Let's approach them and ask why.

The speaker claims the military is experiencing a "recruiting renaissance" due to President Trump's leadership, reversing a decline attributed to Joe Biden. They assert that the military can barely absorb the recruiting volume and retention is up because service members want to serve under a "real commander in chief." The speaker states they are reinforcing standards, removing "wokeness" (DEI and trans policies), and restoring traditional names to military bases. They claim to have found $6 billion in savings to reinvest, including $50 billion redirected from Biden administration climate initiatives, and plan to wisely spend a trillion-dollar budget. The speaker says they have achieved 100% operational control of the border, with 11,000 troops now authorized to detain and hand over illegal immigrants to CBP. They assert this represents a significant expansion of military authority at the border.

Good morning, Bill. The crowd is gathering at Capital One Arena, with around 20,000 expected for President Trump's arrival later today. He will be signing several executive orders on stage, which is set up behind me. Anticipation is high, especially for his announcements. Among the ten border-related executive orders, a significant one involves deploying U.S. troops to the southern border under U.S. Northern Command. President Trump is expected to arrive this afternoon, and there is a long line of people waiting to enter, stretching down multiple city blocks.

We will strengthen the southern border by increasing the number of border patrol agents and ICE deportation officers. Following the Eisenhower model, we will address illegal immigration with firmness. It's important to note that Eisenhower was tough on illegal immigration. Additionally, we will utilize military resources to conduct the largest domestic deportation operation in American history.

Fifteen governors from various states, including Tennessee, Idaho, Florida, Ohio, Arkansas, South Carolina, Virginia, West Virginia, Wyoming, and North Dakota, are deploying military and law enforcement personnel to secure the border. In total, 25 governors from 25 states are joining forces to address the border security issue that they believe President Biden has neglected.

The secretary was asked to justify using the military for civilian law enforcement in Los Angeles. The secretary stated every American deserves to live in a safe community, and ICE agents need to be able to do their job of deporting illegal criminals. He said President Trump believes in law and order and has the authority to mobilize the National Guard or active duty troops to protect federal agents. When asked which authority justifies the use, the secretary stated it sounds like all three, citing millions of illegals waving flags from foreign countries and assaulting officers. He said the governor of California has failed to protect his people, along with the mayor of Los Angeles, so President Trump will protect the agents. When told orders for these purposes should be issued through governors, the secretary stated President Trump has all the authorities necessary.

United States marines and national guardsmen are helping to create a peaceful environment for ICE and border patrol, who were being attacked with rocks and needed reinforcements, so that raids and deportations can continue. The president understands the legal authority that he invoked. The president wants to see an end to the chaos and the violence. He doesn't want to see law enforcement officers being attacked. He wants to see peace. He wants law abiding Californians to be able to bring their kids to school, to be able to go to work without seeing this violence in the streets. That's what the president's hoping for, and that's why he's taken this action.

Speaker 0 asked Secretary Hagsteth about a memo circulating on social media detailing the establishment of a National Guard Response Force trained in crowd control and civil unrest and deployed in all 50 states by April 2026, requesting verification of authenticity and more information on operations. Speaker 1 responded that they will not answer particulars on something that may be in the planning process, but noted that there are multiple layers of National Guard Response Forces, including in each state, regionally, and across Title 10 active duty and Washington DC. He stated there are a lot of different ways constitutionally and legally to employ Title X and Title 32 forces, and they will do so when necessary.

I've appointed the VP to lead our efforts with Mexico and the Northern Triangle to help stem the migration of many individuals to our southern border.

DOD resources are aiding in the detection and location of individuals attempting to evade apprehension. Border Patrol's primary objective is to maintain control over the international boundary, preventing entry into the country. Those who do cross the border will be apprehended and face consequences.

In 1907, Theodore Roosevelt established a 60-foot strip of land called the Roosevelt Reservation along the southern border (excluding Texas). This strip was created to allow the federal government to control smuggling. The Roosevelt Reservation is being transferred to the Department of Defense (DOD). Anyone crossing the border onto this strip is now trespassing on a defense installation. This allows the military at the Southwestern Border to detain individuals until the border patrol arrives. This is intended to create greater coordination between the border patrol and the DOD. According to career border patrol leaders, this is the most support they have felt in their careers. There are thousands of incursions by cartel drones surveilling US property as they attempt to smuggle people and narcotics into the country.

Well, mister president, it's an honor to be here. We've mobilized the DC National Guard. It'll be operationalized by the secretary of the army, Dan Driscoll, through the DC Guard. You will see them flowing into the streets of Washington in the coming week. Other National Guard units, other specialized units, they will be strong, they will be tough, and they will stand with their law enforcement partners. This is nothing new for DOD. We've been protecting other people's borders for twenty years. It's about time we protect our own, and we're working with ICE and CBP. In Los Angeles, we did the same thing, working with the California National Guard, working with ICE officers. ICE officers deserve to do their job, and not be attacked. We will work alongside all DC police and federal law enforcement to ensure this city is safe, this city is beautiful. Thank you, mister president.

Speaker 0: He explains that he wanted to enforce laws with ICE agents and federal law enforcement but couldn't, so he needed to call the National Guard. The question is what "regular forces" means, since the statute says the president has to be unable to enforce the law with regular forces, and the Supreme Court had not decided that before yesterday. The Supreme Court now says "regular forces" means you have to try with the regular armed forces first before you can bring out the National Guard. The unintended consequence could be that the president is going to have to call the eighty second airborne or the marines or the hundred and first airborne division, as, for example, President Eisenhower did after Brown v. Board of Education in the South to enforce desegregation. The president might have to do that first in order to protect those federal buildings and ICE agents, and then if they fail, he can then call out the National Guard. Speaker 1: J. B. Pritzker, the governor in the state of Illinois, is saying this is a big win for Illinois and American democracy, an important step in curbing the Trump administration's consistent abuse of power and slowing Trump’s march toward authoritarianism. The claim is political. The president has obviously tried to work within the framework of the law as his legal team sees it. What happens from here? In fifteen seconds or so, what happens from here? I’m not surprised by Pritzker’s response, and I guess you aren’t either. Speaker 0: He notes that Trump will now have the right to go to the Supreme Court on the full merits. This is just preliminary, and he may be able to get the court, the full court, to reverse this preliminary decision. More worrisome, the Supreme Court is essentially inviting President Trump to send regular armed troops and deploy those to Chicago and Los Angeles before he can send the National Guard. A governor would rather have National Guard troops than the eighty second Airborne and the Marine Corps patrolling the streets of Chicago. Speaker 1: Yeah. Especially when you think...

Governor Newsom did not request federal assistance from the National Guard in California, which has 9,000 local law enforcement officers. The National Guard operates under the governor's supervision. However, during the Iraq War, the Bush administration requested National Guard troops, resources, equipment, weapons, and vehicles. Coordination is key, and it's important to work together to solve problems, regardless of who initiates the request.

The National Guard and Marines are being stationed at federal buildings across the country where riots are taking place, not deployed against US citizens. They remain on federal property to provide security for those buildings. If people do not storm the federal building or attack the National Guard, they will not be attacked. As an investigative journalist who covers protests, the speaker says they stood two inches from the National Guard, who did nothing. The National Guard is not allowed to operate in a law enforcement capacity because the cities will not allow it.

The speaker claims the military is controversial because it's over the target, and that President Trump inherited a demoralized military that couldn't recruit due to Joe Biden's actions. Since Trump's inauguration, there has been a recruiting renaissance across all branches, with waiting lists for police and fire departments as well. The military is retaining more personnel who want to serve under a real commander-in-chief. Standards are being reinforced, COVID mandate expulsions are reversed, and wokeness, DEI, and trans policies have been removed. Fort Benning and Fort Bragg are back to their original state. The speaker states they've found $6 billion in DOD savings to reinvest, including $50 billion redirected from Biden administration climate initiatives. They plan to wisely spend the first trillion-dollar budget on warfighters. The military has 100% operational control of the border with 11,000 troops who can now detain illegals. NATO allies are stepping up, the Houthis are feeling American power, and communist China is being deterred. The speaker believes they are making the military great again due to Trump's leadership.
