If only there would be no protests at all tomorrow.

Then all the soldiers would just stand around doing nothing and Trump would have sent them out for no reason.
Then when they leave the protests could continue.
And stop as soon as Trump sent all the soldiers back.

to build a nice 3 story high wall around the federal detention center and associated small area... leaving the soldiers and national guard inside and the protesters outside ( with vehement instructions to just go home now ).

Put in a "man trap" exit ( one soldier at a time please ) so that they are sent straight back to their base / national guard camp...

They get all the supplies they need while we wait for them to leave. No arrest, no violence... just a siege. None of their heavy weapons of course.

I know, it won't happen... but I can dream.

And this is before Saturday. Trump has awoken a sleeping dragon.
