" In addition, the Secretary of Defense may employ any other members of the regular Armed Forces as necessary to augment and support the protection of Federal functions and property in any number determined appropriate in his discretion." 100% illegal according to Posse Comitatus Act.
Deploying Marines, Space Force, Navy Army or Airforce in the US against the US is prohibited
Minor nitpick: national guard soldiers under title 32 is totally fine (the George Floyd protests), however that requires the state governor’s approval. Trump bypassed that by putting them on title 10 orders which is active duty. Those are typically only for training or overseas deployment, and not for actual deployment within the US (though I think the south border mission may be an exception).
So, he’s already violating the law, but also putting provisions to use active duty soldiers as well which is double against the law.
So is the red line crossed yet or is the goal post once again some indeterminate point in the future.
History won’t tell the beginning of the Trump regime at that indeterminate point. It began when he rode down that piss yellow escalator.
