Framework: Military Support and Domestic Policy<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"5812\" data-end=\"6342\">The use of active\u2011duty military personnel in support of civilian operations on U.S. soil must align with\u00a0<strong data-start=\"5917\" data-end=\"5972\">long\u2011standing legal prohibitions and authorizations<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5812\" data-end=\"6342\">Under the\u00a0<strong data-start=\"5984\" data-end=\"6007\">Posse Comitatus Act<\/strong>, the U.S. military is barred from engaging directly in civilian law enforcement unless expressly authorized by the Constitution or Congress.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"5812\" data-end=\"6342\">The current deployment adheres to this principle by restricting Marines to\u00a0<strong data-start=\"6224\" data-end=\"6261\">supportive, non\u2011enforcement roles<\/strong>\u00a0\u2014 strictly administrative and logistical.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6344\" data-end=\"6852\">Military assistance in domestic contexts is typically governed by\u00a0<strong data-start=\"6410\" data-end=\"6422\">Title 10<\/strong>, whereas direct involvement in law enforcement generally requires a different legal authority such as the\u00a0<strong data-start=\"6529\" data-end=\"6549\">Insurrection Act<\/strong>\u00a0or National Guard activation under\u00a0<strong data-start=\"6585\" data-end=\"6597\">Title 32<\/strong>, which places troops under state control.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6344\" data-end=\"6852\">The distinction matters legally and constitutionally, and senior Pentagon officials have repeatedly underscored their intent to remain within the bounds of Title 10 support.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6854\" data-end=\"7203\">This careful legal framing aims to balance the demand for assistance with longstanding American traditions separating military roles from civilian policing.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"6854\" data-end=\"7203\">Still, the broader use of troops to back up immigration enforcement has reignited
