Jonathan Karl of ABC News asked an interesting question of White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany at last Tuesday’s press briefing:
“Where in the Constitution does the president derive the authority to send federal law enforcement officers to the streets of American cities against the will of the elected officials in those cities?”
McEnany, as it turned out, was prepared. Section 1315 of Title 40 of the U.S. Code, she explained, “gives DHS the ability to deputize officers in any department or agency like ICE, Custom and Border Patrol and Secret Service … for the duties in connection with the protection of property owned or occupied by the federal government.”She added, “When a federal courthouse is being lit on fire, commercial fireworks being shot at it [and] being shot at the officers, I think that falls pretty well within the limits of 40 U.S. Code 1315.”

Presidential adviser Stephen Miller, appearing on “Tucker Carlson Tonight” last Thursday, claimed that the current insurrection is not an aberration, but an echo of that earlier Civil War begun by earlier Democrats who rejected the power of the federal government.
“The Democratic Party for a long time historically has been the party of secession,” Miller said. “What you’re seeing today is the Democratic Party returning to its roots. These are mayors and governors that are saying the federal law -- the U.S. Constitution -- doesn’t apply within the confines of our cities, and our citizens will be held at the mercy of the mob, and the administration of justice, the federal courthouse will be allowed to fall under siege, and that’s what’s happening right now in Portland.”

Article I, Section 9 of the Constitution provides that “The Writ of Habeas Corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of Rebellion or Invasion, the public Safety may require it.” That provision protects against unlawful imprisonment, but it also makes a specific exemption involving rebellion and public safety.

It is time for President Trump to reassert federal power in the runaway cities that have rejected the Constitution. It is time to put an end to lawlessness. It is time to “insure domestic tranquility … promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty,” as the authors of the Constitution promised. It is time to act.
Comment:
Be prepared. Have a contingency plan. Very few could have predicted where we are today. There is no telling where we will be in the near future.
George and Abe had no problem using the Constitution and Bill of Rights to protect the citizens of America in putting down Insurrection. Therefore Donald Trump has every Constitutional authority to do so....
See: G. Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion: Washington and the Whiskey Rebellion - Bill of Rights Institute "George Washington, believed that one weakness of the Articles of Confederation was that the federal government could not deal firmly with domestic uprisings such as Shay’s Rebellion."
Unlike Baghdad Jerry Nadler these are not mythical prorests. People are being injured, murdered and assaulted by these terrorists calling themselves BLM, NFAC, ANTIFA and Boogaloo.
The Federal government has every right to intervene and put down this Progressive Marxist Socialist/DSA DSA funded and sourced insurrection in every city where it's occuring.
