mcgeo52 comments on Jul 24, 2020:

The federal officers are in Portland under the authority of the Secretary of Homeland Defense per 40 USC 1315. The interesting twist is this: Chad Wolf is the Acting Secretary of Homeland Defense and has not been approved by the Senate. In most cases, that would be no big deal because an Acting Secretary has all of the authority of a confirmed Secretary. This case is different because Mr. Wolf assumed office on November 13, 2019 and, per 5 USC 3346 he may serve as an Acting Secretary no more than 210 days. That means that since June 10, 2020 he has no legal authority. Actually, it’s even worse than that. The clock starts ticking on the 210 day limit “beginning on the date the vacancy occurs.” For the record, the vacancy occurred when the last Senate-appointed DHS Secretary, Kirstjen Nielsen, stepped down on April 10, 2019. By the time Chad Wolf took office as the Acting Secretary he had no legal right to do so per 5 USC 3346. In other words, he has never had the legal authority to do anything as Acting Secretary. Everything happening now in Portland, and soon in other cities, is an unauthorized criminal use of force.
