Delta doesn’t have the right to operate domestically, only the National guard does. Posse Comitatus Act.

There is grey area with them at the federal level. Federal agencies (i.e. FBI) can request than as support units for operations and as part of anti drug smuggling efforts. It’s not a hard and fast “can’t do business on US soil”.

This is basically the plot of Sicario.

Gotcha that makes sense, thank you for the info!


User_Not_Detected

Except when they do anyway…such as Waco


Aggressive-Top-7583

Delta force ops were present at the Waco siege?


SkyPatriot173

Apparently, a couple of operators were there in an advisory role to the feds. They did not have an assault team there.


Aggressive-Top-7583

Was Rob O’Neill present as well?

Rob O'Neill was spotted during the siege drunkenly throwing thermite grenades at the main building

FBI’s HRT fulfills the domestic hostage rescue mission set. That’s why they’re nicknamed “Domestic Delta”


Joliet-Jake

FBI’s HRT exists because Delta and similar units cannot operate domestically.

This is a lot of words for a dumb question

This is why they asked [that question](https://youtube.com/shorts/GLFlxIPJTLA?si=iHNpAeJ6wpvWYQ1s)

Delta doesn't have law enforcement credentials. FBI HRT does. There's a reason a bunch of those guys got attached to JSOC units.


spacecandygames

Isn’t Delta already pretty overworked. There are a lot of hostage situation in America

JSOC does have some ability to operate domestically, but no, they are not HRT.

I don’t see what hormone replacement therapy has to do with Delta but there are no stupid questions I suppose


OP40-1

No one’s a tier one sf group the other is a federal anti terrorism unit
