SHAME!!!! BREAKING: U.S. Marines deployed to Los Angeles shatter the law on behalf of Donald Trump by illegally carrying out their first detainment of a civilian in modern history — and their victim was an Army Veteran headed to the VA. But it gets so much worse... The deeply disturbing incident was caught on camera and marks the first known instance of the military apprehending someone during this LA deployment. Trump's fascist crackdown on protestors has turned Los Angeles into an occupied city. As The New York Times observed, it was "noteworthy in one major way" because "federal troops are rarely deployed on American soil and are rarely seen detaining U.S. civilians, even temporarily." The veteran in question was Marcos Leao and although he was eventually released from custody, the temporary apprehension was a blatant violation of The Posse Comitatus Act 1878 which expressly forbids the U.S. military from conducting “law enforcement” operations within the United States. The only time that Posse Comitatus can be broken by the president is when Congress grants express permission, which it hasn't, or when the Insurrection Act has been invoked, which it hasn't. This is a clear cut violation of the law. By forcing these Marines to deploy to an American city that had no need nor desire for their presence, Donald Trump made an incident like this inevitable. It is, without question, a "high crime or misdemeanor" on his part and a valid foundation for immediate impeachment. Reuters reported the incident and it's spreading like wildfire across social media. A spokesperson for the U.S. Northern Command has confirmed that the detainment occurred but said that Leao was handed over to Department of Homeland Security officers after roughly 10 minutes. He was ultimately released by them as well. Of course, the length of the illegal apprehension is totally irrelevant. Even a two second detainment by Marines would have been a violation of the aforementioned act. Leao was minding his own business on his way to visit the Veterans Affair campus when he crossed yellow tape around the Wilshire federal building. At that point, Marines from the 2nd Battalion, 7th Marine Regiment sprang into action to do what they've been itching to do. They detained Leao and zip-tied him. The fact that Leao is a veteran only makes this story that much worse. He bravely served his country in Iraq and was granted U.S. citizenship as a result of that military service. Now, he's being treated like a criminal by this hateful regime. Donald Trump has always dreamed of being a dictator and now he's making a play for it before our very eyes. The time to protest is now. If we don't make our voices heard the last of our rights will vanish into vapor.
