The ACLU requests information about troop deployment in the United States

According to the ACLU, it "…demanded information from the government about reports that an active military unit has been deployed inside the U.S. to help with 'civil unrest' and 'crowd control' — matters traditionally handled by civilian authorities. This deployment jeopardizes the longstanding separation between civilian and military government, and the public has a right to know where and why the unit has been deployed."
