International News: The Donald Trump administration has decided to deploy active-duty marines within the US for the first time. These are the same marines who have fought in bloody war areas like Afghanistan and Syria. They are now sent to Los Angeles, where they will deal with the mob protesting against Immigration Red. This question arises: has Trump now accepted his own public as an enemy?
The US Northern Command has confirmed that LA has been sent to the 2nd battalion from Twenty Nine Palms in California. Their work is the safety of federal properties and immigration agencies. The LA already has 4,100 national guards ready, but the deployment of Marines indicates that the government is now considering the protest as a war.
These Marines are soldiers who have been trained for war, like gorilla attacks, bomb blasts, and open firing. They were not given any training to communicate with, control, or calm the crowd. In such a situation, deploying them among ordinary citizens can be dangerous not only for democracy but also for the safety of both citizens and soldiers.
Marines are given "Rules of Engagement" for deployment abroad, but "Rules for Use of Force" will be applicable for use within the US - which are currently in the draft stage. According to the current documents, Warning fire will not be allowed
Permission to use force only in self-defense
Soldiers will get weapons and protective gear, but not tear gas.
The army has been prevented from interfering in domestic law and order under Posse Comitatus Act. The army can be deployed only when the Insurrection Act is implemented, but Trump did not do so.
He only cited Title 10 and "the powers inherent in the Constitution", which is legally unclear and controversial.
Defense Secretary PT Hakesith gave information about the deployment of Marines from his personal X (Twitter) account, not from the official channel. This has created a situation of nervousness and confusion within the Pentagon.
How will the ground soldiers decide, in case of a clear order, when to shoot and when not to? If a marine stops or searches a citizen, it will be a violation of the fourth amendment of the US Constitution.
The soldiers whom Trump had ever sent to fight the terrorists have now put them in front of their own people.
When a soldier feels the danger, will he not shoot? These questions are now related not only to the democratic soul of America but also to its constitutional future.
