Two years ago U.S. District Judge Katherine Forrest declared that Section 1021 of the NDAA was unconstitutional because it mirrored the 1944 Supreme Court ruling in Korematsu v. United States, which let our military detain over 100,000 Japanese-American citizens without trial during World War II. “This Court rejects the government’s suggestion that American citizens can be placed in military detention indefinitely, for acts they could not predict might subject them to detention,” Judge Forrest wrote. On August 21st, hundreds will gather at Pontiac City Hall to demand the City of Pontiac adopt the City Resolution we submitted yesterday. This is the beginning of something great. The rest is up to you. We’re confident we can Take Back Pontiac from the indefinite detention provisions found within the NDAA. It’s not okay that the military has the ability to devoid “any person” their rights under this section. One has to only commit a “belligerent” act. What is a “belligerent act”? Who are the “associated forces”? What qualifies as a “hostility”?
