Episode notes
How Title 10 And Title 32 Differ
- National Guard deployment legality depends on the legal authority used: Title 10 or Title 32 differ in command and powers.
- Title 32 lets guards make arrests if state law and the governor permit, while Title 10 is federal command but restricted by Posse Comitatus.
Why The 19-State Deployment Is Legally Feasible
- The DOD memo transitions about 1,700 troops from Title 10 to Title 32 for immigration support in 19 states.
- Those states have Republican governors who are likelier to authorize Title 32 deployments, avoiding legal objections.
Limits On Deploying Guards To Cities
- Deploying National Guard to Chicago would be lawful only if Illinois' governor requests or approves Title 32 deployment.
- Absent that approval, Title 10 deployment to assist policing is limited to extreme conditions like invasion or inability to execute federal law.
