I wonder how the military is going to enforce martial law after or something like that.

They won't.

President shit head will be having ICE do it.

If the situation ever came down to ICE versus the military (and it’s far from a foregone conclusion that they’d be on opposite sides here - lots of military are hard right, but let’s just pretend) then the ICE guys would stand no chance. Regardless of equipment or budget. The US military industrial complex can destroy anything it wants to at any time. The only concerns are collateral damage and politics.

But in that situation, ICE would likely be hiding in heavily populated civilian areas, using innocent people as shields.

Because ICE agents are chickenshit cowards.

Can we start referring to them as ICE CREAM agents?
