CA ARMY NG

[rero360]

So I saw an article yesterday stating that our incoming Governor is considering pulling the Guard from the border to do "more important stuff"

I know it would screw my school schedule all up, but I would laugh my *** off if Newsome were to attempt that and President Trump turns around and federalizes the entire Cal Guard and send us all down to the border, it would result in that part of the border being the most heavily guarded.

That would be beyond awesome.

Except that once federalized, the NG is prohibited from any law enforcement actions, rendering them basically useless on the border.

I spent 12 yrs with the CA ARNG. There is no other vital role that needs to be filled that isn't already happening. Most weekend drills were spent cleaning and or playing poker because the state had no money to support the missions or keep the aircraft in the air.

Yes it would.

Even better. Would be the removal of Newsome from office.... Maybe us gunner we should hook him up with Stormy and a pile of coke. And release the video to the press.

You are confusing Posse Comitatus, which states that Federal Soldiers can not perform policing actions inside the US with Federal Soldiers guarding the borders from foreign invaders, especially if the President labels the those attempting to jump the border illegally as a threat to National Security. Posse Comitatus has no authority at the border as I understand it. Now putting Federalized Guard Soldiers or AD bubbas at the immigration checkpoint North of San Diego, that would risk running afoul of Posse Comitatus.

The federal troops that are there right now are not allowed to participate in any law enforcement processes. They are helping to put up/maintain fencing and provide tents and medical care and other such humanitarian aid.

You're not understanding what I'm saying, if the President declares it a National Security issue, it no longer becomes a law enforcement action and instead it becomes a military action, thus Posse Comitatus no longer applies (shouldn't be applicable now as you are not dealing with US Citizens, rather foreigners attempting to invade the nation)

Ironic timing considering this week's events when the last time PC was even seriously discussed was Bush 43 and the Buffalo Six.
