WARNING⚠: CONSTITUTIONAL CRISIS UNFOLDING
Federal law EXPLICITLY FORBIDS US military from acting as domestic law enforcement—a firewall designed to prevent tyranny. 1/5 #BOSpoli + #MApoli https://brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/how-turning-border-military-zone-evades-congress-and-threatens-rights

2/5 Yet Trump is DELIBERATELY SHATTERING this protection with a military he's systematically radicalized & placed under his PERSONAL CONTROL.

This isn't just concerning—it's a FIVE-ALARM THREAT to American democracy. #BOSpoli + #MApoli https://brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/how-turning-border-military-zone-evades-congress-and-threatens-rights

3/5 Look at the pattern: He's WEAPONIZED economic emergency powers to impose universal tariffs. He RESURRECTED archaic wartime powers to bypass due process & deport immigrants to notorious human rights hellholes. #BOSpoli + #MApoli https://brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/how-turning-border-military-zone-evades-congress-and-threatens-rights

4/5 Now comes the MOST DANGEROUS step: positioning military against Americans on American soil.

HOW DEMOCRACIES DIE. First marginalized, then everyone else. Constitutional guardrails are BUCKLING as Trump transforms our military into his personal enforcement arm. https://brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/how-turning-border-military-zone-evades-congress-and-threatens-rights

5/5 When soldiers start policing American streets, following PRESIDENTIAL orders rather than constitutional boundaries, we will have crossed a rubicon from which democracies rarely return.

THE CLOCK IS TICKING. Don't wait until it's too late! 🤦🏾‍♂️🇺🇸 #BOSpoli + #MApoli https://brennancenter.org/our-work/research-reports/how-turning-border-military-zone-evades-congress-and-threatens-rights
