The gambit is that if you declare border land a “military installation”, that means troops can patrol that land and arrest migrants as “trespassers on a military base” without having to declare martial law or any of that messy “posse comitatus” stuff. Of course captives are handed off to ICE immediately and who knows what happens from there.
