The Posse Comitatus Act limits the Federal Government from using the military for domestic law enforcement. However, very quietly, on 9/27/24 within 6 weeks before the election, the DoD amended DoD directive 5240.01 to allow lethal force by the military against US citizens involving cases of riots and protests. This is the first time the DoD has created a directive allowing lethal force to be used by the military in support of civilian riots.
Here is the link to that Directive.
To put the magnitude of this into perspective, if Kamala Harris were to steal the election unlawfully and protestors arrived in Washington DC, they could be met with lethal force. Over 1 million Trump supporters could have been lawfully engaged with military force on January 6th, 2021 with this directive.
It appears that the full blown version of the police state has arrived.
