Walz should have the Minnesota National Guard remove ICE NOW!

1. How?

[leftstreet]

3. He'd need a coordinated effort from other Govs

Bringing a bazillion Guards into the states

[surfered]

2. He could call up the Guard; however, the President has the authority to federalize them and take control of them

[Ocelot II]

4. Which is probably why he hasn't done it yet - Trump would just take it over.

5. Walz has mobilized the Guard and they are on alert.

[Ocelot II]

10. But not deployed.

[MineralMan]

11. Exactly.

Trump can federalize the guard with a signature.

The second he does that, Walz loses all control of the MN National Guard. Walz knows that. He is being careful.

Still, people who are nowhere near any of this seem to believe they have the answers to everything.

6. Dare Trump to do it! He's going to invoke the Insurrection Act anyway

[cachukis]

7. Would that bring to a head what could become

disastrous? The ICE men don't seem ready to back down and they have the prez behind them.

8. Law Enforcement vs Law Enforcement?

9. I just hate giving in without a fight

[cachukis]

12. Likewise. But the ICE guys are itching for a fight.

They don't appear to be any different than the insurrectionists 5 years ago.
And they have the same agitator at the helm this time.
Not sure wisdom is going to win the day, but the good guys are being called to save us from this police state.
Schumer and Jeffries aren't coming to the rescue. There is no one leader with the power to stop trump. The repubs who chastised the insurrectionists flipped within days.
I don't see the citizens in Minneapolis giving up. If they do, trump will raise the stakes.
Trump has already deployed the police state.
I see the big conflict boiling down to citizen's desire to protect their neighbors with the xenophobist's inability to accept the fallibility of their arguments.
It is the Lost Cause persistence on full display.

13. Quite frankly, you have nothing to do with it.

You can't "give in," because you're not directly involved. You can't fight, because you're not here. You can, however make noises to that effect. I don't think that's going to do much, though.

14. Can he kill power to the federal facilities where ICE is operating?

Like a siege? Shut down the power and water at the Whipple Building? They couldn't process any of their kidnap victims without electricity.
