Troops in American Cities

for this free virtual event

Our military is trained to defeat enemies, not to police American citizens. That’s why President Trump’s troop deployments in Los Angeles, DC, Chicago, Portland, Memphis, and potentially other cities pose real threats to civil liberties and the rule of law.

This is an issue as old as the republic. During the Constitutional Convention, James Madison warned, “The means of defense against foreign danger have been always the instruments of tyranny at home.” The Posse Comitatus Act generally prohibits the military from engaging in civilian law enforcement, with few exceptions.

Join us on Monday, November 10, at 3 p.m. ET for a live virtual event. Experts will discuss the legality of Trump’s actions, the ongoing lawsuits to stop them, and ways to prevent future abuses of military force.

Speakers: Elizabeth Goitein, Senior Director, Brennan Center Liberty and National Security Program // William L. Enyart, Major General (ret.), U.S. Army; Former U.S. representative (D-IL); Former member, House Armed Services Committee // Moderator: Michael Waldman, President, Brennan Center

President Trump has done away with the Justice Department’s historic independence, firing career prosecutors and using the department to pursue his political enemies. In the latest episode of our new podcast, The Briefing with Michael Waldman, former DOJ leaders from Republican and Democratic administrations break down what’s happening now inside the department and what can be done about its weaponization. Waldman talks to former acting attorney general Peter Keisler and former Civil Rights Division chief Vanita Gupta. Watch or listen on Spotify
