FLAGGING this footnote from Justice Samuel Alito:
"I would not take for granted that the Posse Comitatus Act applies to federalized National Guard units …."
"I would not take for granted that the Posse Comitatus Act applies to federalized National Guard units …."
![3 I would not take for granted that the Posse Comitatus Act applies to federalized National Guard units, another question that this Court has never addressed. Indeed, the Act’s enumeration of other military com- ponents—“the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, [and] the Space Force”—makes the omission of the National Guard quite no- table. If, as the Court states, the term “regular forces” in §12406 likely means the military, Congress clearly views the military and federalized National Guard units as distinct entities. Otherwise, §12406 would non- sensically say that the President may call up the National Guard when the National Guard is unable to execute the laws. It is therefore not obvious that the Posse Comitatus Act would ever apply to federalized National Guard units, as opposed to the regular military. As §12405 makes clear, some of the laws and regulations governing “members of the Regular Army or Regular Air Force” are not applicable to the Na- tional Guard “when called into Federal service.” 10 U. S. C. §12405.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:elipdmmf5istuvtyituspske/bafkreiap3w3zwrqpwjcg54ywr7mmrpisyi2hqgg6t4c5lzoymqesbbdc6i@jpeg)

Big ups to Marty Lederman @martylederman.bsky.social who flagged this argument that SCOTUS relied on (that regular forces refer to military forces, not federal law enforcement).
NEW: By a 6-3 vote, the Supreme Court blocks Trump’s deployment of the National Guard to Chicago to assist immigration agents. A majority holds that he likely lacks authority to do so. Thomas, Alito, and Gorsuch dissent. www.supremecourt.gov/opinions/25p...
![The Government asked this Court to stay the District Court's order. After the response and reply were filed, JUSTICE BARRETT referred the application to the Court. We directed the parties to file supplemental letter briefs on an issue that the District Court had addressed but the parties' initial briefs had not: the meaning of the term "regular forces" in §12406(3). In its supplemental brief, the Government argues that the term refers to civilian law enforcement officers, such as those employed by Immigration and Customs Enforcement or the Federal Protective Service.
Respondents, echoing the District Court, maintain that the term refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary.
We conclude that the term "regular forces" in §12406(3) likely refers to the regular forces of the United States mili-tary. This interpretation means that to call the Guard into active federal service under §12406(3), the President must be "unable" with the regular military "to execute the laws of the United States." Because the statute requires an assessment of the military's ability to execute the laws, it likely applies only where the military could legally execute the laws. Such circumstances are exceptional: Under the Posse Comitatus Act, the military is prohibited from "execut[ing] the laws" "except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress."
18 U. S. C. §1385. So before the President can federalize the Guard under §12406(3), he likely must have statutory or constitutional authority to execute the laws with the regular military and must be "unable" with those forces to perform that function.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:6h7b2i6ttw3l4t7pvbvxdith/bafkreiftbhzwvn3vgwhqsi7k2paizvdw4t26ailljvovso3chqupnmj364@jpeg)
