This is completely illegal and should require Congress to pass legislation if such a move were to be allowed. Of course, it would go against everything in existing laws that forbids the military from acting on US soil, in a law enforcement capacity.

I am not a lawyer and don’t fully understand how they justify National Guard troops acting in such a capacity? I realize that is done by the states with the governor’s authorization. I don’t know what the supporting legislation is and how it is differentiated from the actual military, controlled by the Federal government directed by the President?

I don’t believe there is anything in the Constitution other than the rights of states to form militia’s to defend the nation from adversaries. https://www.zerohedge.com/news/2024-10-12/us-military-now-authorized-kill-americans-us-soil-new-dod-directive-drops
