The Posse Comitatus Act generally prohibits the use of federal military forces for domestic law enforcement, making imposing martial law a dramatic departure. This kind of occupation against the state without state request/approval is an illegal occupation

It an occupation by a dictatorship: “the action, state, or period of occupying or being occupied by military force.”

This administration is flooding the zone so furiously that people have largely lost track of the lethal attacks on boats in the Caribbean, the gov’t shutdown, the economy, failed release of the Epstein files & so much else. It’s a tactic of would-be strongmen.

That is dangerous. Unless these stupid troops do more than garden and take out trash, it isn’t worth that. Better to fight their illegal occupation in the courts at this point.

“This hasn’t happened I think since the Civil War” if that doesn’t tell you what’s going on I don’t know what. Only one side seems to have army to boot. So really it’s an occupation.

No this is a dictatorship trying to intimidate citizens. This what the British crown did before the American Revolution. This is what drove America to fight for their freedom! This is a dictator trying to over run a country

It’s more appropriate to see it as an invasion—because the only ones who want WAR are the invaders from TX. No one in IL is interested in this fight.
If one state of the country invades another, is that civil war?
If we’re going to relitigate the Civil War—let them have a Confederacy. Secede.

Pritzker: "It's unconscionable. This has never happened before. They're calling out troops onto the streets of a state that doesn't want them and they're not even telling us where they're gonna go, what they're gonna do. This hasn't happened I don't think since the Civil War."
