It’s the second military zone the Trump administration has created at the border, following one on the New Mexico-Mexico border, where a group of migrants were arrested on Monday.

      Arresting illegal immigrants is the same as martial law?

          I’ll chalk that up as a “can’t answer without making myself look silly” then.

              Federal military enforcing federal immigration policies is not martial law.

                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.

        Soldiers arresting people is martial law. It’s law… enforced by the military…

        The reason we react strongly to it is because soldiers should not be enforcing law within civilian spaces. And just naming an area a non-civilian space is just a loophole to have martial law.
