Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem will not recommend invoking the Insurrection Act in a memo the Pentagon and the Department of Homeland Security are preparing to send to President Donald Trump about the conditions at the southern border, multiple US officials familiar with the matter tell CNN.

On day 1 of the 2nd term, Trump signed an executive order that asked for a report due 90 days in on additional actions on the southern border. It specifically asked them to write if they thought the Insurrection Act should be invoked.

They aren’t going to recommend invoking it. If you heard people concerned about April 20th, this was the report they were talking about

Keep the pressure up. They’re starting to feel the pushback. Join the nationwide protests tomorrow April 19th

    They’re waiting, biding their time. It’s too soon. But in 3 months it might be a different story.

    Imagine there’s a meter and the needle needs to be more than way to begin operation absolute control. Think Palpatine and dissolving the senate.

    They are speedrunning it mind, they are not a patient group and they have revealed their hand by accident several times. The Zelenskyy meeting was the first and it did not go well and is likely the reason for the pause. Had there not been such backlash from even with their own party and base, today might look quite different.
