Exclusive: US Marines carry out first known detention of civilian in Los Angeles, video shows - Lemmy.World

Marines deployed to Los Angeles temporarily detained a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by Donald Trump. The incident took place at the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles where Marines took charge of the mission to protect the building earlier on Friday, in a rare domestic use of U.S. troops after days of protests over immigration raids. Reuters images showed Marines apprehending the man, restraining his hands with zip ties and then handing him over to civilians from the Department of Homeland Security.

Posse Comitatus Act
“Whoever, except in cases and under circumstances expressly authorized by the Constitution or Act of Congress, willfully uses any part of the Army, the Navy, the Marine Corps, the Air Force, or the Space Force as a posse comitatus or otherwise to execute the laws shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”
You really need to rewrite all this shit from scratch. 250 years is a good run, but at some point you need to restart to fix shit.

They should rewrite everything every hundred years just to keep up with modern technology and development.

But no matter what system, someone somewhere will always find ways to abuse everything

Jefferson wanted it to be every 20 years. Every generation essentially.
