Forgive me, but to my knowledge they haven't done anything but show up. I believe (like the Marines that recently got deployed), they don't have an actual mission, and they're only allowed to defend federal buildings. The only people I've seen or heard of shooting at protestors (and reporters) are ice and local PD.

You’re right. The problem is “The Foot In The Door” technique. They’re going to be asked to do worse things in steps, starting off with just showing up. Then showing up armed. Then showing up armed with vehicles. Then vehicles with firepower. All leading up to the use of violence, maybe lethal violence.
