“The American people, regardless of where they reside, should not live under the threat of occupation by the United States military, particularly not simply because their city or state leadership has fallen out of a president’s favor. To guard against this, foundational principles of American law limit the president’s authority to involve the military in domestic affairs. Those bedrock principles are in peril,” the suit [reads](https://storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.uscourts.ilnd.487574/gov.uscourts.ilnd.487574.1.0.pdf).
“The lawsuit—filed against President Trump, Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, and Homeland Security Secretary Kritsi Noem—comes just two days after Trump announced he authorized 300 members of the Illinois National Guard to deploy to Chicago, a move Illinois Governor JB Pritzker likened to an “invasion.” An Oregon judge on Sunday blocked Trump’s National Guard deployment to Portland.”
“The Illinois lawsuit will be overseen by Judge April Perry, a Biden appointee.”
“Trump and Noem have sent a surge of SWAT-tactic trained federal agents to Illinois to use unprecedented, brute force tactics for civil immigration enforcement; federal agents have repeatedly shot chemical munitions at groups that included media and legal observers outside the Broadview facility; and dozens of masked, armed federal agents have paraded through downtown Chicago in a show of force and control,” the suit reads. “There is no legal or factual justification for Defendants’ Federalization Order.”

My brother, we are under enemy occupation. They are zip tying our children and disappearing them. They are looting our private possessions from our illegally entered domiciles. They are gassing our police and threatening our first responders. They are pushing down and arresting old people.
This is the start. It only gets worse from here.

Now it makes sense why the founding fathers didn’t want congress to establish a standing Army.

What a waste of taxpayers’ money. Lawsuits won’t stop Trump.

I may be legally naive but doesn’t the federalized national guard being sent to out of state cities run up against the 3A ?

Fuck MAGA and fuck Trump’s domestic invasion. If there was ever a time for 2A, it’s now. All you gun nuts that went on about protecting the country from enemy invasion, well here it is. The people need to show Trump and MAGA that we will defend our country from enemies foreign and domestic. There’s no reason why politically speaking America can’t fall in the next few years if we don’t do something.
