Actually, I saw that kind of sweep up arrest before President Trump started talking about Antifa/domestic terrorist. I think that a threshold was crossed when the last of the 50 states declared a state of emergency. It gave Trump more power, most of which he has elected not to use thus far. But it was power the left would hate, that much I recall.

But in the middle of protest season, I saw an unmarked car arrive, three soldier type guys get out and pick up a woman from the protesters - zoned in on her immediately. Never spoke - just put her in an unmarked car while her friends demanded they identify themselves. Their uniforms were masked to obscure who they were with.

Posse Comitatus is generally not thought to be binding on the marines - of which President Trump is the Commander in Chief. I think we have crossed a legal threshold and the reason we aren't seeing more "fallout" over it is that Trump is limiting his own conduct. Not sure about the antifa designation, not sure if it's unannounced or on the griddle. There's a senate resolution here:
