On January 20th, Donald Trump directed the Department of Defense and Department of Homeland Security to determine whether invoking the Insurrection Act of 1807 is necessary for border security and mass deportations​. This review period lasts 90 days and ends on April 20th. Invoking the Insurrection Act is similar to declaring martial law in that it allows the President of the United States to deploy the military domestically against American civilians.
