There was a reason why the Posse Comitatus Act prohibited the use of federal soldiers for law enforcement.

The feds have gotten around the intent of the legislation by taking people with military training and military weapons, and calling them "civilian law enforcement".

I would welcome somebody filing a "if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck" lawsuit, on the assertion that any federal employee who uses military weapons and tactics for law enforcement is in violation of Posse Comitatus.
