Harley - "well orchestrated" LOL. One of the strategies is to outsource the efforts to local law enforcement, with incentives like homeland security funds and cop toys like hummers, body armor, drones, etc. When Barney Fife or the MAGA sheriff get this credit-carte-blanche go-ahead, it's likely that civil liberties will take a back seat …

Of course, if anything really ugly gets out in the press, Tom Homan can blame the low-level cops for their over-enthusiasm, with Trump bleating on Fox that "Arrest 'em hard. I'll pay for their lawyers" - we've already seen that show, right? So we get the meanness & the fear and the administration gets a slightly plausible deniability, at least in his royal court media; mainstream will report as if legal niceties WERE intended, but just got a lost in carrying out the shock'n'awe. Best of both worlds for Trump.
Your thought about getting some issues before the Supremes - but of course!
Our Governor in Florida is pushing to get a law passed that he can remove any sheriff or police chief for failing to enforce whatever policy the Trump regime comes up with. Also he wants to use the national guard and our state guard (his personal military police) to "supplement" local law enforcement.
I do believe this is is opening move for his presidential campaign for 2028.
