The Insurrection Act has been invoked dozens of times in U.S. history, but rarely since the civil rights movement of the 1960s. Instead, Trump sent U.S. Department of Homeland Security agents to cities like Washington, D.C., and Portland, Oregon. To do so, Trump would need to cite some violation of federal law that the agents are policing against. The DHS agents sent to Portland earlier this year were tasked with enforcing a law against vandalizing federal property like courthouses.Yes, the U.S. government could activate, or “federalize,” the Army National Guard, a reserve force of part-time soldiers. These civilian soldiers are usually activated by governors, but federal law also allows the U.S. government to mobilize them.
Is this a real question ? So let me get this straight, he instigates the unrest then calls in troops to quell the unrest?...
he will if it suits his purpose.
Hey , do you think cops being run-over by BLM protestors in Philadelphia may necessity some heavier defense?
He will. And then he'll argue that the unrest is reason to stop counting votes.
He is creating the unrest. I think the governors should tell him to sod right off.
I love reading these comments! Wonderful bunch of libtards that actually think Biden has a chance of winning despite the fact that he's the worst candidate that I can ever remember from either party. I mean, people who hated Hillary for decades but Biden is totally demented
Whether he can does not matter. He will call in troops whether there is unrest or not.
Considering he's still president till the 20th of January 2021, yes.
He loves discord. He would never do anything to keep peace
I am predicting that if Trump loses the election, he will have to to be removed -kicking and screaming- from the White House come Inauguration Day.
Not good thought at all and not progr.essive this a downward agenda.
Might have to if he wins.
