Reuters images showed #Marines apprehending a #civilian, restraining his hands w/zip ties & then handing him over to civilians from #DHS.

Asked about the incident, US #military's Northern Command spox said active duty forces "may temporarily detain an individual in specific circumstances."

"Any temporary detention ends immediately when the individual(s) can be safely transferred to the custody of appropriate civilian law enforcement personnel," a spox said.

#Trump #law#PosseComitatusAct

Per Idrees Ali of Reuters:

The #troops are authorized [by whom? Not by law] to detain people who pose a threat to federal personnel or property, but only until #LawEnforcement can arrest them.

Federal agents have just handcuffed California Senator Alex Padilla and forcibly removed him from a news conference when he dared to question Kristi Noem. This is a demonstration on the body of a Latino elected official of what the Trump regime intends to do to any of us who question.

National Guard troops already have temporarily detained civilians in the #LosAngeles #protests over #immigration raids, the commander in charge said Wednesday, but they quickly turned them over to #LawEnforcement [the 30 second rule is only for food fools].

This is sickening

#Trump's Military Audience While in Uniform Were Checked for Allegiance

“Internal 82nd Airborne Division communications reviewed by Military.com reveal a tightly orchestrated effort to #curate the #optics of Trump's recent visit, including HANDPICKING SOLDIERS for the audience based on #political leanings & physical appearance.

One unit-level message bluntly saying: "No fat soldiers."

The actions come as #Trump & his top aides seek to bend #academic institutions to their #ideological beliefs. The #State Dept’s public diplomacy office is run by #DarrenBeattie, a political appointee who was fired from a job during the first Trump admin after he gave a talk at a #WhiteNationalist conference. He has made social media posts on white grievances, including one saying “competent white men must be in charge if you want things to work.”…

The board is also concerned that the budget that Secretary of #State#MarcoRubio is requesting from #Congress for the next fiscal
year #cuts spending for the Bureau of #Educational & #Cultural Affairs, which includes the #Fulbright program, to $50 million from $691 million this fiscal year. [Holy crap!!! That’s insane]

The memo written by the board says that members are resigning “rather than endorse unprecedented actions that we believe are impermissible under the #law, compromise #US national interests & #integrity, & undermine the mission & mandates #Congress established for the #Fulbright program nearly 80 years ago,” according to a copy obtained by The Times.

In addition, the #State Dept is reviewing the applications of about 1,200 scholars from other countries who have already been approved by the board to come to the #UnitedStates, the people said. Those foreign #scholars were also supposed to receive acceptance letters around April.

The board approved those scholars over the winter after a yearlong selection process, & the #State Dept was supposed to send acceptance letters by April, the people said. 🚨🚨🚨 But instead, the board learned that the office of public diplomacy at the agency had begun sending REJECTION letters to the #scholars based mainly on their #research topics, they said.

The members are concerned that political appointees at the #State Dept, which manages the program, are acting illegally by canceling the awarding of #Fulbright #scholarships to almost 200 American #professors & #researchers who are prepared to go to #universities & other #research institutions overseas starting this summer, …including Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH).
