Use military force in Mexico and on American soil

- Declare war on drug cartels in Mexico
He has released a plan to fight Mexican drug cartels with military force. It would violate international law if the United States used armed forces on Mexico’s soil without its consent.

- Use federal troops at the border
While it’s generally illegal to use the military for domestic law enforcement, the Insurrection Act creates an exception. The Trump team would invoke it to use soldiers as immigration agents.

- Use federal troops in Democratic-controlled cities
He came close to unleashing the active-duty military on racial justice protests that sometimes descended into riots in 2020 and remains attracted to the idea. Next time, he has said, he will unilaterally send federal forces to bring order to Democratic-run cities. "...bring order to Democratic-run cities" I guess 'bring order' means any excuse for Trump. And Republicans applaud.
