    The national guard was used against BLM protesters in 2020. I would suspect that this is meant to use the military to carry out specific reactionary actions, e.g. a new rash of deportations, casting a wide net. I think it would be more this kind of thing thsn curfews and military police interactions every day.

    This would be, of course, horrific.
