The details vary, but the basic contours are that active-duty troops, from either National Guard units or one of the federal military branches, would conduct operations in urban areas in particular, arresting undocumented immigrants and putting them in military-run camps. That Trump’s arrest targets exceed estimates of the national undocumented population suggests that they’d be rather cavalier about whom they’re arresting and caging and why. Think of Trump’s chaotic first Muslim ban, which initially had almost no parameters and was read to illegally bar reentry for green card holders before being overturned in court. After detention, targeted immigrants could be placed in military aircraft and flown, well, somewhere.

Troops are prohibited from conducting any domestic law enforcement under the longtime principle known as Posse Comitatus, and so this plan is dead before it can start, right?

Sort of. That picture has now been complicated by the Supreme Court’s ruling in Trump v. United States, in which the justices decided that presidents are fully immune from prosecution for any conduct that involves a “core constitutional power.” In fact, such official actions can’t even be used as evidence in other investigations.
