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 national emergency 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. On April 20, Trump will constitutionally — through the Insurrection Act — be allowed to deploy the military against American civilians, 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 Trumpian cocktail is just as bad, if not worse. Will Donald Trump Declare Martial Law - April 20th 2025 ?? #democracy #trending Get Prepared America
