A Judge Smacked Down Trump's National Guard Takeover in the Most
Sweeping Way Possible

I'd have to review this topic below, but I don't think President
Dwight D. Eisenhower used the military, like Trump is doing.
On June 9, 1954, INS Commissioner General Joseph Swing announced the commencement of "Operation Wetback."91 The first phase of the
operation began in California and Arizona.92 Its effectiveness
depended on publicity as well as manpower. Extensive media coverage
that often exaggerated the strength of the Border Patrol, as well as
targeted displays of strength, gave the impression of a greater force.
In many regions, this strategy convinced thousands who had entered the
U.S. illegally to repatriate voluntarily. In Texas, for example, more
than 63,000 individuals returned to Mexico of their own volition; U.S. officials detained an additional 42,000 persons in July 1954. An INS
report later indicated that the agency apprehended nearly 1.1 million individuals.93 The INS operation won at least tacit support from
several key groups; the Mexican government, labor groups, and even Mexican-American civil rights groups acknowledged the labor problem,
but they withheld extensive criticism.94 While the raids disrupted the
growing seasons in California and Arizona, the government pacified
farm owners with promises of additional bracero labor.95 Though the
program was touted as a success, its effects were short-lived; illegal
entry exploded again after the United States terminated the Bracero
Program in 1964.96
