TSF Immigration Raids [View all]

I keep reading from the half-ass news media that he will use the military to conduct raids while completely skipping over how this is legal given the Posse Comitatus Act. Am I missing something? Is declaring an "emergency" enough? Seems just saying it's an "emergency" is legally weak at best. Would expect that to be almost impossible to defend in court.
