The only thing I would offer is that this is a civ-mil problem insofar as this is the total failure of (half of) the political class to understand the military’s role in society.
Just because it’s legal doesn’t mean it’s a good idea, and I wonder how we will pay for the actions of the administration as society’s view of the military change after it sees the mobilization of the military to conduct what can only be seen as politically motivated intimidation of local jurisdictions.

I personally wonder if LA and Chicago are “test runs” to see how the military will act and how the population will react if they try to do more serious military deployments.
