AI Summary:
1,500 active duty troops are being sent down after plans were put in motion by the newly sworn-in US President Donald Trump. On Inauguration Day, Trump signed a slew of executive orders, signalling a sharp U-turn from the Biden administration. The Pentagon will also provide more military aircraft for Department of Homeland Security deportation flights. Trump has instructed the incoming Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security chief to report back within three-months if it needs to be invoked. The last time the act was invoked was back in 1992 by President George H.W. Bush to quell Los Angeles rioting after policemen charged with beating Rodney King were acquitted.

Lol. Political theater.
The last time the act was invoked was back in 1992 by President George H.W. Bush to quell Los Angeles rioting after policemen charged with beating Rodney King were acquitted.
Where are these riots and unrest that must be quelled at the border? Where was this sentiment to deploy the National Guard on jan 6th 2021?
Pure grandstanding and security theater. What a waste of time and resources. Perfect for this administration.
