“New reporting based on a leaked briefing memo from a recent meeting between high-level officials at the Department of Homeland Security and Defense Department sparked fresh warnings on Saturday about the Trump administration’s internal plans to increase its domestic use of the U.S. military. According to Greg Sargent of The New Republic, which obtained the memo, the document ‘suggests that Trump’s use of the military for domestic law enforcement on immigration could soon get worse.’ The ‘terrifying’ memo (which the outlet recreated and published online with certain redactions that concealed operational and personnel details) ‘provides a glimpse into the thinking of top officials as they seek to involve the Defense Department more deeply in these domestic operations, and it has unnerved experts who believe it portends a frightening escalation.'” (08/02/25)
