A-score (26.7): Military deployment to border raises separation of powers concerns (military vs civilian law enforcement, Posse Comitatus considerations) and rule of law questions around immigration enforcement militarization. Civil rights impacts on border communities and migrants. Precedent modifier elevated (1.2) as this continues expansion of military domestic deployment. Mechanism modifier 1.15 for enforcement_action with federal scope 1.3. Base calculation: (1×0.22 + 3×0.18 + 3×0.16 + 2×0.14 + 1×0.14 + 0×0.10 + 1×0.06) × 1.188 × 1.15 × 1.3 = 26.7. B-score (30.2): High outrage potential on immigration issue, strong media coverage of troop deployments, fits established narrative patterns around border security theater. Layer 2 elevated for narrative pivot capability and pattern matching to previous border deployment cycles. Intentionality moderate (8/15) given political timing and symbolic nature of troop numbers. Delta: -3.5 favors distraction. Both scores exceed 25 threshold but B>A with negative delta, indicating List B classification.
