ICE Barbie Asked Hegseth to Give Bombshell Order to Troops in L.A.

Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to instruct soldiers deployed to Los Angeles to help arrest rioters, even though the military is generally barred from domestic law enforcement.

In a leaked letter, Noem asked Hegseth on Sunday to have the Pentagon give “direction to [Department of Defense] forces to either detain, just as they would at any federal facility guarded by military, lawbreakers under Title 18 until they can be arrested and processed by federal law enforcement, or arrest them,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported.

Title 18 is the main code dealing with federal crimes and criminal procedure.

“This letter was sent days ago, prior to the Secretary of Homeland Security and Secretary of Defense meeting with the President,” Department of Homeland Security assistant secretary Tricia McLaughlin told the Daily Beast. “The posture of our brave troops has not changed. This is a whole-of-government approach to restore law and order. We are grateful to our military members and law enforcement who have acted with patriotism in the face of assault, taunts, and violence.”
