            Federal military enforcing federal immigration policies is not martial law.

            A military performing law enforcement isn’t martial law? Please enlighten me as to how that is lol

              Have the military replaced the government now?

              Do you know what the F in FBI stands for by any chance?

              Martial law this ain’t. By definition it isn’t even close.

                That would be a military junta, not martial law.

                Martial law is when soldiers, not peace officers, are tasked with upholding law and order.

                It doesn’t matter if it’s for a good reason or not, it’s still martial law.

                The F sure as fuck doesn’t stand for Army you fucking ape.

                The FBI has the authority to enforce laws passed through regular congressional channels by elected officials.

                Here the commander in chief is declaring a policy and enforcing it directly with his own power. It’s the textbook definition.

          Someone needed to advocate for the freedom of the military to do whatever it wanted.

          Actually, no, nobody needed to do that.
