As of September 2, 2025, the directive remains in effect, unchanged since its 2024 reissuance. The debate about its "dangerous precedent" persists, fueled by distrust in government intentions and the election’s aftermath. While it doesn’t fundamentally alter DoD policy, its timing and language amplify fears of militarization, particularly among groups skeptical of federal overreach. However, without specific evidence of misuse, the directive alone doesn’t justify alarmist claims. Greater scrutiny should focus on reforming the Insurrection Act and ensuring robust oversight of military-intelligence activities.
If you’re concerned, contacting congressional representatives to push for transparency or support bills like the 2020 CIVIL Act (H.R. 7135) could address broader issues of military overreach.
