Former FEMA official discusses National Guard role in domestic security and law enforcement

Former FEMA appointee Mark Neveau discusses the legal and constitutional challenges surrounding the deployment of National Guard troops across state lines for crime prevention in cities like Washington, D.C. These deployments, often occurring without a governor's request following a disaster declaration, raise legal questions under the Posse Comitatus Act, which restricts military involvement in domestic law enforcement. While some governors have pulled support due to political and legal risks, the deployments have been credited with reducing crime rates in certain cities, amidst ongoing legal and political debates.
