During a letter to Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth amid mass protests over immigration raids, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem urged the military to assist law enforcement by detaining individuals involved in protests, raising concerns over potential violations of the Posse Comitatus Act. Noem characterized the protests against ICE's actions as insurrectionist and called for military involvement to support federal agencies in enforcing immigration laws. However, she did not elaborate on her claims of foreign terrorist organizations being linked to the demonstrators, raising questions about her assertions.
Noem's letter emphasized the need for military support in domestic law enforcement, suggesting that the National Guard can detain lawbreakers during protests over immigration raids.
She urged the Pentagon to cooperate with various federal agencies to confront what she described as violent protests against immigration enforcement actions, referring to the demonstrators as insurrectionist mobs.
