A newly leaked Department of Homeland Security memo reads like a manual for martial immigration enforcement. Penned by Phil Hegseth, brother of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, it urges the Pentagon to embed National Guard and even active-duty Marines with ICE for mass deportations. The document casually predicts nationwide protests and recommends overwhelming military force as the response, treating migrant caravans as terror-level threats.
That proposal slams into the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, the law designed to keep federal soldiers out of civilian policing unless Congress or the Constitution explicitly allows it. The only clean escape hatch is the Insurrection Act of 1807, a statute presidents have rarely invoked. Once a commander in chief pulls that trigger, the roadblocks vanish and the Oval Office gains near-total domestic police power.
Several Republican governors are already volunteering troops. Wyoming’s Mark Gordon has offered both Guard units and highway patrol officers, joining roughly twenty other governors signaling similar help. What starts as border support could quickly morph into a standing military presence in city neighborhoods, the largest domestic mobilization since World War II internment.
In our latest Dangerous Ones episode we shred the memo, decode the legal sleight of hand, and lay out a concrete resistance plan. From demanding congressional oversight to funding rapid-response legal teams, the fight for civil liberty begins now, long before the rumble of Humvees reaches your street.
