In what was easily predictable, a leaked memo from the Department of Homeland Security gave some details on the Trump Administration's plans to expand the use of the US military on American soil.
The memo talks about how the Department of Homeland Security and the Department of Defense are coordinating with each other for the expansion of the use of the military, under the argument of immigration enforcement. One person described this expansion as the largest use of US military personnel on US soil since the Japanese internment camps of WWII.
There is another very ugly reason for this. Right now, there is no way in hell the Republicans are going to hold the US House and Senate in 2026. The last thing the Trump Administration wants is to give the Democrats the opportunity to openly investigate the Administration.
If the drunk Pete Hegseth waits until August of next year to start placing armed forces across the country, everyone would know what it's for. If they start posting military across the country today, in the biggest US cities, under the argument of immigration enforcement, then the troops are in place if the Trump Administration calls for a delay in the 2026 election ("We're going to wait until people's emotions have calmed down and then have an election."). They might also call for state results to be thrown out, and the military will be there to deal with the masses furious over the overthrow of Democracy.
This is not good.
