Overstated

Why we checked itSpecific claim about the content of a named 2013 Connecticut law regarding federal commandeering of state/local law enforcement — verifiable against the actual statute.
What we foundThe core principle is real and well-documented, but the 2013 Connecticut Trust Act is a state law setting limits on what Connecticut officers may do — it does not itself 'say' the federal government cannot commandeer state resources; that prohibition comes from the Tenth Amendment's anti-commandeering doctrine, which the law codifies and reflects.
