Trump has big, big plans for the military in his second term. Homeland Security doesn’t have anything like the resources he needs for his immigrant scheme, so he will be using the military to build the wall, construct and staff the new migrant camps, and, in all likelihood, conduct raids. In addition, he will be relying on the military to crush dissent, particularly in blue states. Finally, he will be waging war against Mexico. It’s an ambitious agenda.
Most of this, of course, will be totally illegal, but there is no reason to believe the political or the legal system will do much to stop him. Only the military can, by refusing to obey unlawful orders. Will they?
Let’s hope we never find out.
