I've been asking that same question to friends in the government and law enforcement communities. So far, it's been nothing but a confusing debate over interpretation. I think it's obstruction.

If the military and militias side with Trump depends on the issue that causes the war of course. But in the case that they did, who would make up the other side?
Gangs? Drug lords? People at risk of being forcibly deported? How loyal are the militaries to the States they're based in? Would the majority of the Army in California support the opposite side to one based in Virginia?
And what kind of incident would it take? If Trump ordered the military to deport all illegal immigrants immediately? Would his assassination be enough? I don't think it would be at this point but if more anger starts brewing who knows.

It's kind of a powder keg right now. A lot of hard feelings out there. The RW Trump supporters (Tea Party types) have really become emotionally invested in Trump and his success, and anything short of him being able to deliver on his promises will just inflame their belief the world is against him and them. If Trump gets impeached or forced to resign, there could be trouble. On your latter scenario, that would definitely lead to violence. I would not want to be identified as a liberal in that scenario.
