And <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/environmentalists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#environmentalists</a> warn of damage to habitats that support nearly two dozen <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/endangered" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#endangered</a> species." 'Militarizing the border has historically only ramped up deaths,' said James Holeman, founder of Battalion Search and Rescue, a group of volunteers who hike through desolate regions of Arizona and New Mexico searching for remains of migrants who couldn’t survive the desert." 'You’re talking about vulnerable people that are making very deadly choices,' he said."On April 11, Trump ordered the military to take control of the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/RooseveltReservation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#RooseveltReservation</a> – a 60-foot wide strip of federal land along the border from the Pacific Ocean to New Mexico."Turning the border into a military base would get around the 1878 <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PosseComitatus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PosseComitatus</a> Act, which prohibits the military from engaging directly in civilian law enforcement. <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Migrants" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Migrants</a> would be subject to military arrest for trespassing within the federal zone."That zone and Trump’s order cover Arizona’s four border counties – Yuma, Pima, Santa Cruz and Cochise – except for a 62 mile stretch of Pima County controlled by the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TohonoOOdhamNation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TohonoOOdhamNation</a>."Holeman, among others, expects that gap to become an even bigger magnet for human trafficking."The tribe’s ancestral lands span the border, and roughly 2,000 of 34,000 members live on the Mexican side."Tribal leaders declined opportunities to discuss the situation."Even before the military build-up to the east and west, the reservation was a hot spot for illegal crossings. The tribe’s stretch of border is relatively flat. And it’s secured with vehicle barriers and large-gapped cattle fencing that don’t impede people, because the tribe refused to allow wall construction during Trump’s first term."Read more: <a href="https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2025/04/25/donald-trump-army-border-funnel-migrants-arizona-reservation/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://cronkitenews.azpbs.org/2025/04/25/donald-trump-army-border-funnel-migrants-arizona-reservation/</a><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BorderPatrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BorderPatrol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MurderPatrol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MurderPatrol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICE</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TohonoOOdham" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TohonoOOdham</a>

DoomsdaysCWIs <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trump</a> planning to declare <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MartialLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MartialLaw</a> on April 20? The frightening claim, exploredStory by Charlotte Simmons, March 14, 2025"First, the essentials. Martial law is the term for when civilian government and legal processes (such as mayoral jurisdiction and police officers, respectively) are overtaken by state military, so as to make demands on behalf of the nation’s leader, and then enforce those demands with their wealth of resources. Typically, martial law is invoked in dangerous situations, such as natural disasters or major <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CivilUnrest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CivilUnrest</a>."This is different from the United States’ <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/InsurrectionAct" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InsurrectionAct</a>, wherein those civilian enterprises are not replaced by military personnel and resources, but supplemented by them. More importantly, the official nature of the Insurrection Act allows the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/POTUS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#POTUS</a> to deploy the military domestically during emergencies, as the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PosseComitatus" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PosseComitatus</a> Act of 1878 prohibits the use of the military against American civilians. In short, the Insurrection Act can waive the rules of the Posse Comitatus Act to create a sort of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MiniMartialLaw" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MiniMartialLaw</a>. Remember this."Recently, fears have been rising over whether or not the United States could enter martial law on April 20 under Donald Trump. But why then? What is it about April 20 that holds significance? When Trump first took office back on January 20, he signed an executive order declaring a state of emergency at the United States’ southern border, requiring the secretaries of Defense and Homeland Security to submit a report about what the 'situation' is at said border, together with recommended actions for 'resolving' said 'situation.' This report needed to be submitted within 90 days."When this order was signed, Trump also declared that 'A <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalEmergency</a> exists at the southern border of the United States…I hereby declare that this national emergency requires use of the Armed Forces…' This, directly references the potential execution of the Insurrection Act."The Secretary of Defense? <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/PeteHegseth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#PeteHegseth</a>. The Secretary of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HomelandSecurity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HomelandSecurity</a>? <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/KristiNoem" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#KristiNoem</a>. Two of Donald Trump’s most prominent yes-men. And guess how many days January 20 and April 20 are apart? Ninety."So, essentially, on April 20, there’s a not-insignificant chance that those two aforementioned Trump yes-men are going to tell Trump whether or not he should deploy the military in the southern United States so as to crack down on immigration. Except, as we saw with the case of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MahmoudKhalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#MahmoudKhalil</a> — a recent <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ColumbiaUniversity" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ColumbiaUniversity</a> graduate who played a major role in that student body’s recent <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProPalestinain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ProPalestinain</a> campus occupations — it doesn’t matter if you have a green card or if you haven’t committed any crimes; under this presidency, <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ICE" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ICE</a> will illegally detain you if they think you’re troublesome to the vision of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpsAmerica" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TrumpsAmerica</a>. They’re trying to deport Khalil for speaking out against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genocide</a> as we speak. This is a direct, wholly <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/unconstitutional" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unconstitutional</a> attack on <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/FreeSpeech" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeSpeech</a>."And here’s why that distinction between the Insurrection Act and martial law was so important earlier. On April 20, Trump will constitutionally — through the Insurrection Act — be allowed to deploy the military against <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AmericanCivilians" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AmericanCivilians</a>, and his government has already demonstrated that legal American civilians who have not committed any crimes are at risk for detention and deportation. It’s not technically martial law, but this <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Trumpian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Trumpian</a> cocktail is just as bad, if not worse."<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Khalil" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Khalil</a>’s detention — again, occurring in response to his speaking out against the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#genocide</a> of <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Palestinian" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Palestinian</a> people — was made on the grounds of Trump’s executive order prohibiting <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/AntiSemitism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#AntiSemitism</a>. How long before more executive orders (none of them made in good faith, let’s be clear on that) just so happen to limit more ways of speaking, acting, and thinking? A scary thought, and a horrifyingly pertinent one."<a href="https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/is-trump-planning-to-declare-martial-law-on-april-20-the-frightening-claim-explored/ar-AA1AUIqy" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/is-trump-planning-to-declare-martial-law-on-april-20-the-frightening-claim-explored/ar-AA1AUIqy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Authoritarianism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Crackdown" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Crackdown</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CriminalizingDissent" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CriminalizingDissent</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NDAA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NDAA</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ExpandedPowers" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ExpandedPowers</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPresidency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPresidency</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/NationalEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#NationalEmergency</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Terrorists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Terrorists</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Activists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Activists</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#USPol</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/BorderEmergency" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#BorderEmergency</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Gitmo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Gitmo</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IllegalDetention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IllegalDetention</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndefiniteDetentionClause" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndefiniteDetentionClause</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IndefiniteDetention" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IndefiniteDetention</a>
