Trump was malding over interior migrant raids not being as successful as he hoped, so I imagine this is to help with deportations.

Didn't Biden sign a bill at the end of his term that made it much easier to deploy US troops and intelligence units onto US soil to assist with the police? (Yes he did)

Can't wait to be shot by some psycho troop because he thinks I'm shoplifting toothpaste (that's now $20).

the funny thing is, it seems like in most situations where an amerikkkan trooper and a cop interact, the cop is always way more unhinged and lacks trigger discipline of any kind, just panic. not that that makes me feel better about the military policing of the core, it just goes to show how psychotic cops are.
