Active-duty military personnel was arrested after appearing at the Capitol and publicly calling for Trump's impeachment.
An active-duty military service member was arrested after appearing at the Capitol and publicly calling for Trump's impeachment. The arrest happened despite military personnel having constitutional rights to political speech, though those rights have limits related to active-duty status and maintaining unit cohesion.
The fact that active-duty military personnel are being arrested for political speech is notable because it suggests a lower threshold for arrest or prosecution. Military rules restrict active-duty participation in partisan politics, but impeachment calls are core political speech. The arrest raises questions about whether the threshold for prosecuting military personnel over political expression has shifted.
