Summary

Congressman Buddy Carter requested that Homeland Security deploy federal troops to Atlanta. This represents a request for military-style federal intervention in a city.

Why This Score

This is a congressional REQUEST for federal troop deployment, not an actual deployment or executive action. Carter lacks authority to deploy troops - only DHS/President can. No mechanism has been triggered; this is political theater/positioning. The constitutional concerns (separation of powers, federalism, Posse Comitatus implications) are real IF deployment occurred, but a backbench congressman's request carries no legal weight. High hype potential (federal troops in major city) but zero actual constitutional damage since nothing happened. Classic noise: inflammatory rhetoric without substantive action.

IF YOU ONLY DO ONE THING

Monitor for: (1) Actual DHS/White House response or deployment orders, (2) Whether this reflects broader GOP caucus position or isolated statement, (3) Underlying Atlanta situation prompting request. Escalate to List A only if federal deployment actually occurs without proper legal framework or state consent.
