I looked into the claim about DoD Directive 5240.01. Here’s what I found:
The updated DoD Directive 5240.01, reissued on September 27, 2024, indeed governs the Department of Defense’s intelligence activities. The new version includes provisions that allow for the use of lethal force in certain circumstances when assisting civilian law enforcement123. However, it explicitly forbids assassination1.
The directive’s language allows for lethal actions under “imminent threats” to national security1. This update has raised concerns about the potential for misuse, but it does not equate to a blanket authorization for the military to kill Americans on U.S. soil without due process23.
If you have any more questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask! π
