      Arresting illegal immigrants is the same as martial law?

        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.

          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.

        Ah, classic sophistry. If you omit the actor, you can draw a bad conclusion and pretend you didn’t know it was a bad one. But maybe I’m mistaken and you actually don’t know the answer to your question. Why don’t you read the article? It answers it.
