President Trump is using the military to create a domestic police force, raising concerns among legal experts. He issued an executive order authorizing the creation of a special police unit within the National Guard, deployable nationwide to quell civil disturbances. This action bypasses typical legal authority and could lead to conflicts between states with differing political affiliations. Experts warn of the potential for unconstitutional actions and even armed conflict between National Guard units from different states. Trump's actions are seen as an attempt to intimidate political opponents and create a chilling effect on dissent.
