Haha! Are they embarrassing Hegseth? Maybe the best way to get released from duty is to chow down on deep dish pizza, Chicago style dogs, and Polish sandwiches. Gain a quick15 pounds and you are homeward bound.

Letters from an American – October 8, 2025 – Heather Cox Richardson
Letters from an American October 8, 2025
By Heather Cox Richardson, Oct 08, 2025
Yesterday, journalists observed members of the Texas National Guard at a U.S. Army Reserve Center in Elwood, Illinois, about 55 miles (89 kilometers) southwest of Chicago. This morning, the Defense Department announced the federal activation of about 200 soldiers from the Texas National Guard and about 300 from the Illinois National Guard, saying they would be protecting U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents and other federal agents “who are performing federal functions, including the enforcement of federal law, and to protect federal property.”
The statement said the National Guard soldiers “are under federal command and control in a Title 10 status.” The section of the legal code to which the announcement pointed was the one permitting the president to call into federal service members of the National Guard whenever the U.S. is invaded or in danger of invasion by a foreign nation, there is a rebellion or danger of a rebellion against the authority of the U.S. government, or the president cannot execute the laws of the United States with the power of regular law enforcement.
It is this power under Title 10 that White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller yesterday claimed was “plenary,” or absolute. The idea that exceptions to the rule of law reveal who is really in charge of the government was central to the political philosophy of German political theorist Carl Schmitt, who joined the Nazis and whose work is increasingly popular among the radical right in the U.S. these days. Since taking office in January, Trump has declared at least eight national emergencies that the administration has used to justify the use of emergency powers.
As J.V. Last of The Bulwark laid out clearly last night, there is no crisis in Chicago that makes it necessary for the administration to send in National Guard troops. Last points out that any instability in Chicago has been caused by the administration’s surge of federal agents into the city, where they shot and killed Chicago resident Silverio Villegas González; raided and ransacked an apartment building, leaving residents—including U.S. citizens and children—bound outside for hours; shot an unarmed woman, Marimar Martinez; and aimed a weapon at a resident who was simply recording what the agent was doing, In each case, the government initially insisted the federal agents either were under attack or were rounding up “the worst of the worst,” but subsequent information has showed the federal agents were the aggressors in each situation.
Federal agents have held journalists, who are now suing ICE and the Department of Homeland Security for the use of “extreme force” against them, and pummeled them with tear gas and pepper spray. As Last notes, local police chief Thomas Mills has testified that the “use of chemical agents by federal agents at the ICE facility in Broadview has often been arbitrary and indiscriminate. At times it is used when the crowd is as small as ten people.”
Illinois governor J.B. Pritzker warned that the administration is deliberately trying to “cause chaos, create fear and confusion, make it seem like peaceful protesters are a mob by firing gas pellets and tear gas canisters at them. Why? To create the pretext for invoking the Insurrection Act so that he can send military troops to our city.”
As Joseph Nunn of the Brennan Center explained earlier this year, the Insurrection Act brings together a number of laws Congress passed between 1792 and 1871. They make up sections 251 through 255 in Title 10 of the United States Code. Together, they suspend the Posse Comitatus Act that prohibits the U.S. military from taking part in civilian law enforcement.
The Insurrection Act permits the president to deploy troops to suppress “any insurrection, domestic violence, unlawful combination, or conspiracy” in a state that “opposes or obstructs the execution of the laws of the United States or impedes the course of justice under those laws.”
Courtney Kube, Katherine Doyle, Carol E. Lee, and Garrett Haake of NBC News report today that White House officials, led by White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, have been having increasingly serious discussions about having Trump invoke the act.

Live Updates: #Trump Threatens to Use #EmergencyPowers to Bypass Courts and Deploy Troops
The president said he was considering invoking the #InsurrectionAct to send #NationalGuard units to #Chicago and #PortlandOR., over local objections. Gov. #JBPritzker of Illinois called the mobilization 'an unconstitutional invasion.'
Julie Bosman, Shawn Hubler, Anna Griffin and Eric Schmitt
Reporting from Chicago, Los Angeles, Portland, Ore., and Washington.October 6, 2025
Here’s the latest. (updated at 7:30 PM EDT).
"A federal judge on Monday declined to block the deployment of National Guard units to Illinois, a mobilization that the state’s governor, JB Pritzker, labeled an 'unconstitutional invasion' by the federal government, as President Trump threatened to assume emergency powers to bypass court battles and send in the troops.
"The outcome of the court hearing in Illinois, which allows the Trump-ordered deployment to move ahead for now, came as a military official said 200 troops from the #TexasNationalGuard were set to fly to the Chicago area late Monday and begin operating there later in the week. A similar effort to deploy Texas troops in Portland, Ore., has been blocked by a judge for now."

Something about this story doesn't add up. So the border patrol has the powers within **100 miles** of the border to search, seize and arrest anyone suspected of being an illegal immigrant, but needs the Texas National Guard's permission to enter state parks? GTFOH
I call bullshit. SecDef could resolve this.. hell Biden as commander in chief could also fucking resolve it with an order and be done with it.
