The Coast Guard is being used because, unlike the military, it has law enforcement in its mission.

So, it's used as another private army, as is ICE.

Why Do Lawyers Want to Abolish ICE? (YouTube video with transcript)

TLDR:
• Lawyers have been calling for the abolition of ICE for years, not because we oppose immigration enforcement, but because ICE as an institution is extremely unusual in American law

• The legal mechanisms that define it are anomalous

• And those legal anomalies carry real constitutional danger.

Ms. Gnome, rot in hell for turning honorable public servants into instruments of murder on the high seas and as racist enforcers in the U.S. The Guard's honor will be restored, but your infamy will live forever in history.

You're a Clara Petacci.
