If Trump invkes the Insurrection Act because of widespread violence, some areas can be put under military control, but not all of them necessarily, and the military can be used to enforce the law but criminals are brought to civilian courts instead of military courts in areas with no martial law.And as for the difference between emergency declarations and martial law, one of them puts the US military in complete control, and one of them does not.
In other words the difference is fairly moot. Liberal deep blue cities would likely get martial law if the Insirection Act is invoked..
