The actual Trump doctrine is having no plan whatsoever for the predictable consequences of their own choices. And then flailing around in a panic. It's no way to run a country.

"A force that exists for protection also has the potential to be a dangerous tool for internal repression. Once the door is open to military forces targeting some of the population, that door is very hard to close. When the rule of law becomes the rule of force, no one will be safe."

Trump’s domestic deployment of US armed forces is an alarming abuse of power and affront to democracy - CommonWealth Beacon

For months now, Trump and his minions have been waging a campaign to twist the military into a heavily armed loyalist force.

Periodic reminder that the Constitution protects the right to publicly assemble and be heard. "Protest" is not a dirty word.

Things ICE doesn't tell you: ICE can usually put somebody in immigration proceedings WITHOUT arresting them. And if ICE does arrest somebody, ICE usually has discretion to RELEASE the person after booking on conditions and with a court date. Mass arrests/mass detention is 100% a choice by ICE.

Habeas corpus is literally the thing that prevents the government from putting anybody they want in jail forever. This is not an exaggeration. That's literally what it is. Any threat to suspend habeas is an attack on the rights and physical security of every person in the United States.
