What would make anyone look at the last 80 years of US foreign policy, and not realize they’ve been following illegal orders the entire time? You think this is where they’ll draw the line?

This is a domestic issue, not foreign policy.

No, you just don’t understand how the two are intertwined.

Oh – sorry, I understand the protests are about immigration, which is not exactly a domestic issue. I’m talking about the deployment of the national guard.

The deployment of the military domestically, using tactics and technology that were field tested in Israel and US battlefields, is inextricably linked to our foreign policy.
The implication that there is any division between the two topics is insanely obtuse.
