...quasi- military groups are privately-operated  security guard companies whose owners have secured lucrative contracts to do this work.

In other words, they are nothing but paid mercenary storm troopers hired by federal agencies and deployed to urban areas by tRump and his minions  to intimidate and lay the ground work for the coming police state.

That would be consistent with the direction the country is heading under this administration.

Meanwhile the Federal government is again on the brink of a shut down because the Repugs and the Dems can't reach a compromise. 

The issue holding up a compromise is affordable healthcare which benefits red and blue alike. 

 

These politicians are getting paid to do less than nothing.
