Senators Push Biden to Restrict Trump's Domestic Military Powers

Democratic Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal are urging the Biden administration to issue a policy directive limiting President-elect Donald Trump's ability to deploy U.S. military domestically. They propose that military deployment should only occur when requested by state or local authorities, to prevent potential misuse of the Insurrection Act. This move aims to deter Trump from using military forces for domestic law enforcement, a concern heightened by his past statements and actions. The senators also call for future administrations to consult Congress before deploying military forces domestically.
