Posse comitados says no use of military to do local law enforcement. Protecting borders is an entirely appropriate use of military.

Posse Comitatus only regulates the federal government from using the regular Army and Air Force in domestic enforcement actions. The Marines, Navy, Coast Guard and each states National Guard are all available for use as needed. The POLITICAL ramifications of use of any of those forces against citizens or their property would be catastrophic unless it was obvious to even the most partisan or stupid person that it was the only reasonable choice to quell a coup or riot.

The use of the National Guard at Kent State was perfectly legal. If I’m not mistaken, the military can only be deployed at the request of the state governor.......
