Someone needs to file a lawsuit tout suite..42USC 1983
From what I've read, the city is now under the control of the military, divided into sectors (as usual for martial law). How would any resident have legal standing to sue?

AFAIK it's well accepted that civil rights can be limited under martial law. Someone might be able to sue arguing that this declaration of martial law is unconstitutional, but that's another issue.
