Changes in National Security monitoring, Huawei and Hasidic Jews

We will discuss federal jurisdiction in President Trump's choices of in immigration enforcement.  We will discuss the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 and how that base law relates to what the military can respond to in terms of civilian problems at the border vs. national disasters. The National Defense Authorization Act of 2012, modified the scope of military response to our enemies.

The Act authorizes funding "for the defense of the United States and its interests abroad". In a statement, President Obama described the Act addressing national security programs, Department of Defense counter terrorism within the US and abroad. It broadened the definition of who could be sought out along the border and held regarding our enemy.

A person who was a part of a substantially supported affiliation of al-Qaeda, Taliban or associated forces that are engaged in hostilities against the United States or its coalition partners, including any person who has committed a belligerent act or has directly supported such hostilities in aid of such enemy forces will be subject to investigation.
