Trump and the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878
 

Patricia J. Williams, at NYRB: Trump has declared "his intention to lock up broadly defined 'enemies from within,' even using military force to do so. (This would require suspending the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which forbids federal troops from engaging in civilian law enforcement.)"
