The Insurrection Act of 1807 is a United States federal law (10 U.S.C. §§ 251–255; prior to 2016, 10 U.S.C. §§ 331–335; amended 2006, 2007) that empowers the President of the United States to deploy U.S. military and federalized National Guard troops within the United States in particular circumstances, such as to suppress civil disorder, insurrection and rebellion.
The act provides a "statutory exception" to the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which limits the use of military personnel under federal command for law enforcement purposes within the United States.
Before invoking the powers under the Act, 10 U.S.C. § 254 requires the President to first publish a proclamation ordering the insurgents to disperse.
The chief clause of the Insurrection Act, in its original 1807 verbiage (which has been thoroughly updated since to reflect modern legalese), reads:
An Act authorizing the employment of the land and naval forces of the United States, in cases of insurrections Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That in all cases of insurrection, or obstruction to the laws, either of the United States, or of any individual state or territory, where it is lawful for the President of the United States to call forth the militia for the purpose of suppressing such insurrection, or of causing the laws to be duly executed, it shall be lawful for him to employ, for the same purposes, such part of the land or naval force of the United States, as shall be judged necessary, having first observed all the pre-requisites of the law in that respect.
In 2016, Public Law 114-328 was amended to include Guam and the US Virgin Islands under Ch. 13 jurisdiction. §252: "Use of militia and armed forces to enforce Federal authority" currently reads:
Whenever the President considers that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellion against the authority of the United States, make it impracticable to enforce the laws of the United States in any State by the ordinary course of judicial proceedings, he may call into Federal service such of the militia of any State, and use such of the armed forces, as he considers necessary to enforce those laws or to suppress the rebellion.
Would lose the Election doing this.
Agreed. It’s bait. Leftists want to be able to play the victim. Wait until after the election and round them all up.
Nearly election and some retards here want to throw it away. Do it after the election.
Agreed, T_D is retarded sometimes. He's winning by offering help and having it declined. It's the perfect way to show the American people the stark contrast between lawless Democrats and law and order Trump.
Trump supporters need to stay out of the streets. Period.
Yup don’t take the bait, let these dem mayors look foolish and make them come to trump begging for help
thats what the left wants man... just fucking wait for the election to be over... most of this shit will end Nov 4th.
But he’ll be re-elected, then we can destroy commies
Trump won’t need to act after the election. All freedom loving patriots will take care of things.
Here's what's going to happen if Trump continues to do nothing.
Riots will continue into November. Conveniently timed acquittals will intensify them. In the lead up to November 3rd, you will have roving gangs of BLM and Antifa intimidating, harassing, and assaulting anyone who doesn't join their cause. Come election Tuesday, there will be "protesters" blockading polling locations. Even if law enforcement puts that shit down, loads of people will stay home rather than put their lives in danger to vote. Meanwhile, democrats will keep finding mail-in ballots until they win everything. Trump will point to the voter intimidation and mail-in fraud as an excuse to invalidate and delay the election. The Left will immediately declare him a fascist dictator and attempt to marshal military forces for a coup. If that doesn't materialize, they will attempt to form a union of states to secede.
Doing nothing before November puts us on the path to civil war, too.
How long can we run against the rioting when the feds aren’t do anything about it? When he is elected will he invoke the act then?
Not a shill..
You can coax leaders into accepting help from the federal government. There'll be some pressure applied by Trump behind the scenes. Portland will give way.
Thanks for sharing this video.
Oh noooo we can't defend ourselves or the left gets another media headline. Better let the commies take over cities and murder Trump supporters. That will show them who's boss!
Defend yourself. The media is losing control of the narrative. People are seeing through the illusion. I’ll be a Kyle if I must, and make sure I did everything right and legally, but I won’t be one of the Portland assassins.
I say no. Its not a credible insurrection. Dems want chaos. Let them be tied to it. Its not trumps way
I do NOT agree. He's been doing the best possible thing, and that is stay out of these cities. They are BAIT and he's not taking it.
Neither should we.
NO! Trust in the timing of President Trump. Doing this would cost us the presidency right now.
"The approach is one of camouflaged predation. Perhaps it can be summarized as: 'kick the dog until he bites, then shoot him.' Press your target, using blows that hurt but do not draw blood, until he finally snaps and bites back. Then it’s time for the Glock. The resulting execution appears to the casual observer, who misses the kicks or can be persuaded not to see them, as a simple case of justified self-defense—putting down a biting dog.
"We have an explanation for feature B, the tendency of the weaker party to attack. It is what an animal trainer would call fear biting. Moreover, the dog that does not fear-bite is liable to be kicked to death. Sovereign rights, when not defended, tend to vanish."
No. Keep asking if they want help. Keep asking them to bring the guard in.when they say no, remind everyone that their mayors and governors will not bring in the help needed. Turn blue states red as a result. Repeat until election . after November 3 then invoke the act and end this
Sadly this is what they want. They want Trump to send in the military, water cannons, etc. It is the only way they win.
What's wrong with The Alien Registration Act (1940), popularly known as the Smith Act.

Hell no.

MAKE the democrats actually have a Fort Sumter moment. And then wipe the Party of Slavery out of existence.
Yeah no, let’s not. Let these Democrat-run cities continue to to hang themselves. Trump has been very smart to let all the Dem mayors and governors own this shit. The left eventually eat themselves.
Trump is not an authoritarian. We don't need this. 60 more days.
Too risky. The media spin would be potentially devastating. It's much harder for the media to spin a bunch of people in BLM gear burning down cities and killing people against Trump. (although they are certainly trying)
It's not an insurrection if the mayors and city councils of those cities WANT the violence. Let them have the violence and STAY AWAY FROM IT!!!
No More Parade of Sitting Ducks!
It's really easy to sit on the sideline and watch the country burn when it's not happening to your business, when it's not happening to your neighborhood.
Trump needs to do something.
So you’re saying Trump is NOT in control?
if he did this the left would own him. This is exactly what they want. We are grinding out a win here. Stay tuned.
This is what the left is trying to goad Trump into doing so they can call him a real fascist
No need. Just send fed prosecutors to ensure the 2nd Amendment is upheld. Investigate the DAs and police that violate our right to self-defense. If he forcefully sends troops, they will use it against him like they did when the rioters were removed from Lafayette park back in June. Don’t fall for the trap. Besides, the blue cities are burning and it’s red pilling the normies
Completely agree. Nothing personal against President Trump, but it's time for him to fucking grow a pair. If he doesn't end it, the citizens will. Our United States always comes first, even before Trump.
