Given that detention and questioning constitute arrest, I’d suggest the current administration consists largely of utterly incompetent fuckwits who have no goddamned idea what they’re doing.
You’re gonna get so sick of Constitutional crises.

There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people.
-Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica (2004)

Are US soldiers allowed to refused to obey unlawful orders, and if they enforce such, can they be sued and/or charged criminally in civilian courts?
Yes and no. The real problem is the moral and ethical constitution of a service person... Or lack of.
