Arggg... Recently signed Military Budget Bill, vetoed and then overriden, has a provision in it forcing POTUS to seek Congress approval before invoking the Insurrection Act. Let's stop repeating the same, in multiple threads now. EO 13848, as its sister order, EO 13849, sure, still in force, but neither requires the IA to be implemented.
FEMA now is the de facto government, they dictate even to Joint Chiefs at this point (State of Emergency), if need be. Wictor pointed it out last night, and it does make perfect sense. This is the drops, #14, 17 and 22, that so clearly and repeatedly keep pointing out MARINES as the driving force. Take a wild guess who is in charge of FEMA for the past 3 days? Take a guess who is in charge of Military (Sec Def)? Take a guess who National Guard commander in D.C. is? Marines always reported directly to POTUS. POTUS has a sea of Marines all around right now, with FEMA running the show.
No need for the Insurrection Act, or as someone on another flunky board last week said, "resurrection act" (that was more than a LOL moment for me).
Insurrection Act was not signed, as a few claimed (Simon Parkes, I am looking at you), since there is no need for it. FEMA is it.
