The EO specifically applies to active duty military, who cannot be legally deputized as LEOs to circumvent Posse Comitatus.

Just more distractions from Epstein, the failing economy and Trump’s failures in general.

This EO will meet the same fate as Alligator Alcatraz, soon to be an empty ghost town/prison.
