It is illegal to detain people under armed guard without cause, as the NPS did with the elderly people in the hotel at Yellowstone.
These orders are illegal AND vindictive.
You may be right but it would depend on why they were detained at the inn.
If they were detained for safety reasons, then that wouldn’t be illegal even though it could be construed as vindictive.
You might think it’s illegal. I might think it’s illegal. That however doesn’t mean that ii is illegal.
