(29,588 posts)The language makes no sense:
"The Secretary of Defense, and the Secretary of Homeland Security with respect to the Coast Guard when it is not operating as a service in the Navy, shall prescribe regulations providing that reimbursement may be a condition of assistance by judge advocates assigned or detailed under section 973(b)(2)(B) of this title." (emphasis mine)
Does this mean that if there isn't a regulation saying reimbursement is waived, this provision has not been complied with?
I am tired and have outrage overload.

(11,152 posts)The OLC opinion involved the use of JAs as Special US Attorneys to prosecute offenses occurring on military reservations. I don't see any exception to Posse Comitatus for offenses occurring on the border.
OhNo-Really
(3,985 posts)I am quite convinced we have to take this Fascist Regime Resistance to the doors of our local detention centers. Most are unmarked buildings, however, there is a searchable Detention Center Map link below. Each center is ground zero for ending what has become unacceptably inhumane.
Action is needed. 24 hour watches are needed. Doubt that?

PLEASE NOTE. There are no Utah detentions on the big map, but if I use this tool and search for Utah I find more than one ICE Detention Center.
Use this easy tool, find your ICE centers, get organized, protest.
No Utah centers showing on national map above; however, a site search shows two centers. See map below
