Actually the military thing from a few weeks ago reminds me. VI is a territory and not a state. As such it falls under Federal jurisdiction and has limited autonomy in comparison to a state. What I’m not sure is what additional authorities the Military would have in investigating or participating in issues in a territory vs a state.

Yes, that would be an interesting angle. I remember there was some rumblings about the VI Supreme Court was trying to stop them but apparently was not able to.
