 Weirdly enough, almost an ENTIRE MONTH after the Maui fires, the federal presence seems to be EXPANDING.

These are several different federal checkpoints surrounding Lahaina that I photographed within one hour of each other today.

I can’t officially label these guys military because surprisingly many of them are

 in military-like fatigues.

This situation seems to be getting more and more tense by the day—even among residents.

What is going on?

Next thing you know they are going to say it was Alien attack from space. 
 @72906336 the vast sice if the federal police force, including para military forces for domestic use is mind boggling and dangerous.  I'd needs to be cut by at least 90%  why is Maui even federal jurisdiction?
