    This is starting to sound like a hostile takeover of the US.

    Never in my life did I imagine I would see the US military used to fight american citizens, yet here we are.

      I respectfully disagree. These actions are very much criminal. The Trump administration, ICE, congress and the supreme court must be held to account for their crimes against the constitution, and the people.

        You have mentioned all three branches of the federal government. How, I must rhetorically ask, can the entire federal government be held to account without their cooperation?

          Gee.
          Understand that history is full of examples.
          Ill start with the most obvious.
          Like the French revolution.
          Luckily the mechanisms are fairly easy.
          One simply needs to look.
          Times will be difficult.
          Its usually painful for everyone.
          Never the less, it must be done.
          Else worse things happen.
          So I implore you, off with their heads.

          You might wat to consult the constitution and it’s ammendments for a few ideas.

            Except that the federal government enforces and interprets the Constitution, so relying on it to resolve problems with that very government verges on Kafkaesque.

    Baltimore. The city that riots every chance they get and have done so since at least the war of 1812. That Baltimore?

    If our military leaders go for this, the armed forces are now my enemy. Trump had 30-days of wiggle room to do this in DC. I am unaware of any other authority he has to expand.
