The bloated ICE budget isn't just to wage war against immigrants, it's also because they realized the military wouldn't side with them if they tried to seize/retain power. Now they have a massive, well-funded army of racist thugs that answers only to them, sidestepping the Constitution and chain-of-command entirely.
The military are actually trained though. There's no point trying to train these guys they are military rejects.
The US military versus these guys would be more farcical than anything else.
The point is that the military will sit it out since they can't be deployed domestically
not if the protesters are declared foreign agents/a civil war is declared.
look at the Syrian, Sudanese and Egyptian revolutions
