Does the Dept of Defense know about this? Also, last time I checked, it was illegal for POTUS to deploy the US Military on US soil.

18 USC 1385 "Whoever, except... under circumstances expressly authorized by [Congress], willfully uses [the military] as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both."https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/1385 …

President Trump can not credibly claim any exceptions apply under the Insurrection Act 10 USC 251 (et seq).https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/10/253 …

Apparently Pres Trump was sitting near Gen Mattis when he said it, so I guess it didn't surprise the General. The President would have to declare the US is under Insurrection to justify his otherwise illegal order--a declaration that would defy reality.

I suspect everyone is about to get more familiar with the Governors of our Mexican border States, especially CA who would surely sue the President to stop him from deploying US troops to California, if he actually tried such a thing.

New Mexico - Gov Susana Martinez (R), also Chair of the NM GOP. Arizona - Gov Doug Ducey (R) Texas - Gov Greg Abbott (R) California - Gov Jerry Brown (D), formerly Chair of the CA Dem Party.

Congress and State Governors would be foolish to let President Trump use the military to enforce his domestic agenda. That would only feed his authoritarian wannabe ego and lust for power. It would be dangerous.
