The Anti-Riot Act allows Trump to mobilize his army to protest and protest, but may be opposed by state governors.

US President Donald Trump on June 1 threatened to mobilize federal troops to major cities to cope with the continuing violence nationwide after the death of George Floyd, a leather man.

Trump's statement was skeptical, because the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878 prohibited the US military from deploying domestic forces or performing executive functions in place of police in the United States.

However, observers believe that Trump has complete authority to carry out the threat if he invokes the Anti-Riot Act, which was enacted in 1807 and allowed the federal government to use military forces to cope.

When activating this law, the US president has the right to deploy troops to deal with "any uprising, domestic riots, illegal gathering or conspiracy to sabotage or hinder US law enforcement"

The President of the United States can activate the Anti-Riot Act to deploy troops to the states to respond to protests without requiring approval from Congress.

Despite the threat of deploying troops to the states if the governor or mayor of the region fails to "protect people's lives and property," Trump has so far not implemented the process of declaring activating the Anti-Law Act.

Trump is now the National Guard commander of Washington D.C.

The Anti-Riot Act has rarely been activated for more than two centuries since it was enacted.

Congress amended the Anti-Revolt Act after Hurricane Katrina in 2006, in order to better define situations where the President might activate the law.

Trump is said to have spent the day researching the conditions that trigger the Anti-Riot Act.

The Anti-Riot Act provides the president with the right to mobilize federal forces, including militia from another state, to a particular state if requested by the legislature or the governor of the state.

However, the law also provides the US president with the authority to deploy military forces to the states if the violence "hinders both state and federal law enforcement" and basic rights.

It is illegal for the US president to unilaterally activate the Anti-Riot Act and face legal challenges from state officials, when they disagree that they have "failed or refused to protect" their rights.

The "militant" threat was made by Trump after a tense discussion with the governors on June 1, in which the US president proposed a series of tactics to prevent protesters and rebels.

The death of George Floyd sparked protests and violence in at least 140 cities across the United States, prompting at least 40 cities to impose curfews.
