> Up to 1,700 National Guardsmen are set to mobilize in 19 states in the coming weeks to assist the Department of Homeland Security with President Donald Trump’s nationwide crackdown on illegal immigration and crime, Pentagon officials confirmed to Fox News.
> Documents obtained by Fox News show planning for activations in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Iowa, Louisiana, Nebraska, Nevada, New Mexico, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, Virginia and Wyoming – with status effective from August through mid-November. Texas is projected to host the most significant Guard presence.
It should be noted this comes after the National Guard deployed to DC had been ordered to begin carrying lethal weapons in the nation's capital[2]:

Wyoming and South Dakota? What are they expecting to find there, exactly?

Like many things in this regime, it's not about the stated goal. Just as with the "flood the field" strategy they use, it's about setting precedent and normalizing the US military being deployed domestically while moving too fast for the media and watchdogs to keep up.
Their end goal is the death of Posse Comitatus. Let's watch the flow:
- Deploy to California, "justified" by protests. But it's okay, we won't make arrests.
- Change orders to make arrests.
- Deploy to DC, justified by vague "crime". But we won't use lethal force. And it's not a state, so no PC issues.
- Mandate lethal weapons.
- Deploy to "friendly" states, justified by nothing. But, it's okay the governors have to consent.
Trump, being himself, has already given away the plot. From here, they continue to desensitize their own base to military deployments within our homes. They crack down more in blue cities within the red states, then use any resistance as justification. Then they expand to "less cooperative" states.

I once knew a guy, at DOJ, who always said the Third Amendment is the most important one.

jan 6 is a glaring demo of what can happen by riling up enough starters.
knowing that, its logical that an authoritarian, would create a perimeter, to curtail similar attempts to overthrow the regime.
