“We are all preparing and planning for the worst-case scenario, but the reality is that we don’t know how this is going to play out yet,” one protection official tells the outlet.
“Troops are compelled by law to disobey unlawful orders,” one other added. “But the question is what happens then – do we see resignations from senior military leaders? Or would they view that as abandoning their people?”
Pentagon Wanting To Resist Trump
The issue, after all, lies within the notion of what constitutes an allegedly “unlawful order.”
Trump’s advisers are already formulating plans to execute his promise of mass deportations as soon as he assumes workplace, doubtlessly involving a nationwide emergency declaration to repurpose property from the Pentagon to detain and deport unlawful immigrants.
He has additionally promised to invoke the Alien Enemies Act, a wartime regulation that might permit the president to authorize the arrest and deportation of unlawful immigrants over the age of 14.
The regulation states {that a} president might order non-citizens “to be apprehended, restrained, secured, and removed as alien enemies” when she or he is deemed as coming from a “hostile nation.”
As President, Trump would definitely have the appropriate to do what he feels essential to fight in opposition to a overseas invasion. Some uber-leftist official (suppose the Vindmans) stepping in to say it’s “unlawful” isn’t acceptable.
