He would need to have a justification to declare martial law. He could invoke the Insurrection Act (1807) to put down "rebellions" in the USA and to help law enforcement deal with domestic violence/upheaval. Violent protests could be classified as "rebellion" by Trump.

He might be, but if violence doesn't surface, he will move to choke off and possible future resistance in its absence. If worse comes to worst, he will send in his own loyalists to act violently and then he will declare martial law. Be ready. When it happens, it will be swift.

The President can "federalize" any state's National Guard under Title 10 U.S. Code, Section 12406, to "execute the laws of the United States" when "unable with the regular forces" to do so. He did so when he ordered the California National Guard into Los Angeles. Illinois is no different.

Perhaps governors should remind NG that following illegal orders is also grounds for a court martial, and it would be pretty easy to prove you followed that illegal order if this goes to court (it will) and a judge rules "Yes, that is illegal." Need to teach them there are consequences for obeying.

Nobody has talked about a national martial law. If he does it, he will do it in select metros in Blue states or in metros that went Blue in Red states. And in doing so, he can suspend Constitutional rights, depriving opponents of Due Process, including the 4A, 5A, 6A, 8A, and 14A protections.

He has a legal excuse in DC since it is a federally administrated city. Chicago is not. LA is also not a similar example as NG there were 1. From CA, and 2. Only guarded fed buildings. Did not police. This is blatantly illegal though and isn't actually similar to what he did before.

He seems to need 5-10k soldiers for his occupations. Which would put him at 90 million for full occupation of US at that amount. I don't think the US has 90 million soldiers.

Fawksey Moron - PNW Guy 🦋 @fawkseymoron.bsky.social

I mean, normal working conditions are for an SDF to handle local emergency management stuff, e.g. disaster response. I imagine it would be seen as a further escalation to deploy a state SDF against a federalized National Guard; it's sticky, also I'm certain Trump doesn't know anything about this.
