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.

Update 2025-04-08 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Resolution Time Zone Clarification
- Time Zone: Eastern Standard Time (EST) will be used for determining the timing of the event.
- Invocation Date: A 'Yes' outcome will only be recognized if the Insurrection Act is invoked specifically on April 20th, according to EST.

@saulmunn as the title says, it will only resolve yes if it is invoked specifically on April 20th

@AndyGetzow Do we want to use the EST time zone to further constrain ambiguities?

@Quroe Yes I will use eastern standard time.
