They’ve killed in captivity, had one ruled a homicide by an examiner, publicly executed 2 in front of cameras and so far they’ve managed to at least have their budget increased. At some point something will break.

It would be a coup at that point. The national guard is commanded by the Governor of the state, but the President can also legally override the governor and take control.
Fuck the Whitehouse. Deploy the National Guard to get ICE out of town, Tim.
I’m afraid that’s what it will take. I’m also afraid that’s what will start the next Civil War.
I feel the Feds vs States is on already. The States are just not really responding yet.
You’re splitting hairs. There haven’t been standoffs or shots fired yet. It hasn’t started yet. We will all know when it does.
Edit - People: I meant between Minnesota National Guard or Minneapolis Police vs. ICE. Government vs government.
Sorry for the confusion.
NO SHOTS FIRED?!?! FOR FUCK’S SAKE
I meant by the National Guard. Sorry.

Civil War 2.0 is already under way.
I’m sure they’ve taken Tim’s stern criticism on board and will begin withdrawing ICE from the state any day now.
What exactly can the National Guard do? Can they be instructed to resist ICE presence? Genuinely asking.

It’s a game of chicken. Whomever blinks first loses and starts a further escalation.
