It's the same corrupt tactic Trump used on Pence and members of Congress when he sent his rioters into the Capitol to try to coerce them into overturning the 2020 election for him. This time Trump has thousands of federal agents at his disposal and $170 billion in taxpayer money from the 'Big Beautiful Bill' to fund them and implement his tactics. It's like his Capitol riot on massive steroids.
It's all part of the slow coup that's taking place. They want ALL the power AND---they're gonna get with whatever means they choose to use.

Trump's Cognitive Decline More Obvious Every Day excerpt: "JOHN GARTNER: I know. We really have reason to be utterly terrified. This really is kind of the worst case scenario. We kind of have a mad king, but a mad king with dementia and a mad king with dementia has the absolute power to destroy the world and kind of the temperament to do it. I mean, he really is. We’re seeing now because maybe because of the dementia and because he has so much power, the combination of the two is he’s acting out in all of these incredibly destructive ways. We always knew he was a racist, but to go on and on demonizing a whole ethnic group in extended terms, it’s being expressing itself in more primitive and in ways where he’s more inclined to just impulsively go into action. So he’s the American Hitler by personality, right? So we understand why he would want to jail his critics and because that’s what fascists do and he has the fascist personality disorder, but also now because he’s become so cognitively declined, it’s expressing itself in these ways that are so grotesque and so inappropriate and so bizarre, and this is only going to get worse. I always say to people, look at Donald Trump today because that’s the best Donald Trump you’re ever going to see because we’re talking about a deteriorating illness. But the problem is, as he’s deteriorating, no one is stopping him."

He has the full power of the federal government with $170 billion of taxpayer money to implement it. He arguably has much more funding and tactical advantage compared to what the North had during the Civil War which lasted four years in a stalemate condition.
