Speaker of the House:
Using active duty Marines on the streets of an American city is just “peace through strength.” ‼️
So we can’t count on the Speaker to defend the rule of law, or to defend the military against misuse.

JON KARL: Could we really see active duty Marines on the streets of LA?
MIKE JOHNSON: One of our core principles is maintaining peace through strength. We do that on foreign affairs and domestic affairs as well. I don't think that's heavy handed.

This is a consistent theme since yesterday from people on the ground in Paramount.
Yes, there are crowds, there are protesters.
But they are PEACEFUL.
ICE began firing tear gas, flash bangs and smoke bombs once they saw people who happened to be there start filming.

The fact they chose California as the flash point is also an indicator that they don't think these things through
LA has like 4M+ people. Sending every single ICE officer is ~20K, LAPD is 9K, LASD is 10K. Going in at 100:1 manpower – leaving zero bodies for literally anything else – is foolish

Not enough personnel to do martial law
The secret of American law enforcement is that most people voluntarily follow most laws most of the time
If that changes for a significant %, things get overstretched very fast
