Two Democratic senators are urging the Biden administration to try to limit President-elect Donald Trump’s ability to deploy military forces inside the United States after he takes office. The senators specifically asked Biden to clarify the conditions under which the Insurrection Act—an 1807 federal law authorizing the president to use military force domestically—can be invoked. They emphasized that it should be reserved for extreme circumstances where state and local authorities are overwhelmed by an insurrection, rebellion, or civil unrest and request federal assistance. The letter also called for the enforcement of the Standing Rules for the Use of Force, which requires that any use of military force be reasonable in its intensity, duration, and magnitude. Finally, Warren and Blumenthal asked the White House to make it clear that future administrations would go to Congress before using the military on U.S. soil. “We urge you to clarify that the President must consult with Congress to the maximum extent practicable before exercising this authority, as well as transmit to the Federal Register the legal authorities,” the Democrats wrote. Should the Biden administration issue such a directive, it would not be binding on the incoming Trump administration. Once inaugurated on Jan. 20, Trump could issue his own policy directive overturning the one issued by Biden. Trump has indicated that he would use the military to help deport illegal immigrants, potentially invoking the Insurrection Act to achieve this goal. The Act has been used sparingly in the nation’s history, most recently in 1992, when President George H.W. Bush called in 4,000 Army and Marines to help restore order during the Los Angeles riots. In November, Trump responded with “True!!!” to a social media post saying that his second administration is preparing to “declare a national emergency and will use military assets” to carry out a “mass deportation program.” It remains unclear whether he intends to have the military directly enforce immigration laws, allocate military funding for deportations, or pursue other options. Trump has also indicated he would invoke the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 as part of his immigration strategy, specifically to “target and dismantle” cross-border criminal networks. That Founding-era law specifically allows the president to detain, relocate, or deport people from countries with which the United States is at war, that have invaded the United States, or that have committed “predatory incursions.” The Alien Enemies Act has been invoked three times, all during major conflicts: the War of 1812, World War I, and World War II. Its most recent use was in 1942 when President Franklin D. Roosevelt ordered the military to relocate Japanese nationals and U.S. citizens of Japanese ancestry from the Pacific coastal regions after the Pearl Harbor attack.
Quest Commonwealth Emerges as the Premier Estate Planning Partner for RetireesBy RANDALL CHASE, Associated Press DOVER, Del. (AP) — A Delaware judge has reaffirmed her ruling that Tesla must revoke Elon Musk’s multibillion-dollar pay package Chancellor Kathaleen St. Jude McCormick on Monday denied a request by attorneys for Musk and Tesla’s corporate directors to vacate her ruling earlier this year requiring the company to rescind the unprecedented pay package. McCormick also rejected an equally unprecedented and massive fee request by plaintiff attorneys , who argued that they were entitled to legal fees in the form of Tesla stock valued at more than $5 billion. The judge said the attorneys were entitled to a fee award of $345 million. The rulings came in a lawsuit filed by a Tesla stockholder who challenged Musk’s 2018 compensation package. McCormick concluded in January that Musk engineered the landmark pay package in sham negotiations with directors who were not independent. The compensation package initially carried a potential maximum value of about $56 billion, but that sum has fluctuated over the years based on Tesla’s stock price.
On the other hand, a vocal minority of villagers express skepticism and suspicion towards the woman's story. They claim that her sudden appearance in the village is too convenient and question the authenticity of her claims to be a graduate student. Some even go as far as to suggest that she may be a scam artist or an imposter seeking to take advantage of the villagers' kindness.Title: Visa-Free Month: How South Koreans are Winning Over Chinese HeartsIdentity and Access Management (IAM) Professional Service Market Overview and Leading Players: Column Technologies, Hub City Media, Identropy, Oxford Computer Group, Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), PwC, IDMWORKS, Aurionpro Solutions
