Limits On Federalizing The National Guard
- Title 10 allows the president to federalize the National Guard only in three narrow situations: invasion, rebellion, or inability to enforce federal law with regular forces.
- Even when federalized, the Posse Comitatus Act generally bars military personnel from performing domestic law enforcement unless Congress or a valid exception permits it.
Posse Comitatus Bars Military Law Enforcement
- The Posse Comitatus Act stops federal troops from arrests, searches, seizures, and other law-enforcement roles without Congressional authorization.
- A judge found the LA deployment violated Posse Comitatus because troops were used for crowd control, traffic blockades, and a visible law-enforcement role.
D.C. Lawsuit Highlights Control Differences
- D.C.'s legal challenge is similar to California's but differs because the president has more direct control over the Guard in the District.
- The key dispute is whether Guard troops in D.C. were directed to perform core law-enforcement activities that would violate Posse Comitatus.
