You can't use the active duty military aganist citizens; unless it's to protect federal property. You can use the national guard. Trump can activate units and place them on active duty status. Then the issue becomes are national guard troops on active status active duty, or still guardsmen. The official answer has never been decided though. Trump ran into this issue when he wanted to deploy the army and national guard aganist the BLM riots.
As for his migrant deportation plan he'll activate the guard and have them support ICE. ICE has the authority to handle citizens.
I'm an army veteran who served under Trump. The majority of enlisted are full maga. It's really going to come down to the officers. The very officers tuberville blocked promotions for so Trump could place his own.
General Milley is the reason the military didn't deploy on Jan 6 because he couldn't be sure what would happen.
There's nothing here!
