It is on what record? Please provide a source. If they wore no insignia, how is it known they were military. The national guard can detain people and turn them over to law enforcement, but the Active-Duty Military has no authority to act as law enforcement or make arrests inside the borders of the U.S. Read the Posse Comitatus Act. ICE and the FBI were at many of these events and might or might not have had insignia, the do have arrest and detention authority.

Maybe you are trying to say something else. Do you believe that there was an unlawful use of Active-Duty Military to round up and detain protestors and process them without due process. Are you saying that these Active-Duty Military hid their insignia to disguise their identity?

The arrest, detention and deportation of people in the US without due process using Active-Duty Military is illegal, not supported by any political party, not supported by the majority of voters and citizens, would cause a backlash and potential impeachment or legal action against the perpetrators. Any Active-Duty Military personnel who carried out such unlawful orders would be violating the oath they took to uphold the Constitution of the United States of America and should be subjected to Military Discipline.

If there is credible evidence that such activity has or will occur it is not common knowledge. It would be hard to keep it a secret if mass arrest were to occur.

If this is related to future mass deportations, where do you think they would send these detainees, what country would accept deportees who were unlawfully detained? I think that most people being alarmed by this fear forget that deportation (even unlawful deportations) require the participation of a receiving country.
