Скачать или смотреть Can Trump Use the Troops? Posse Comitatus vs. the Insurrection Act

Can a president deploy the U.S. military for immigration crackdowns or big-city crime? In this video, we break down Posse Comitatus (why the military can’t act as domestic police), the Insurrection Act (when that restriction can be suspended), and how these laws collide with today’s immigration politics.

What we cover:

2025 context: foreign-born population share, deportation numbers, and how immigration affects wages, prices, and growth

Posse Comitatus (1878/1879): why it exists, what it blocks, and the Reconstruction backstory

The Insurrection Act: when presidents can use it (Little Rock 1957, LA ’92) vs. when they can’t

ICE roundups & labor markets: who actually fills low-wage jobs and what happens if that labor disappears

Cities, crime, and optics: data trends vs. political narratives

Population math: could the U.S. see its first population decline and what would that mean for the economy?

If you’re here for facts over fanboying, this episode is for you. Drop your take in the comments:

Should the Insurrection Act be tightened, clarified, or left alone?

Would large-scale deportations raise wages—or just raise prices?
