My state leaders continue to speak up and do what they can, from representatives to governor to attorney general. Colleges in my state that have been attacked continue to resist. Any attempts at ICE raids are followed by protesters Maybe our protests get ignored by the regime but if it encourages our state politicians to continue acting in our interest, then it makes a difference.
Have they, though?
I mean, I've yet to hear about any city ordering their police to arrest any and all federal agents attempting to affect an arrest... I've also not heard of any governor activating their national guard forces to defend against the federal invasion...
These are direct, material things in their power, they refuse to do.
They seem to disagree that it’s in their power. However local law enforcement is not allowed to assist in any way and state facilities are not allowed to provide detention space. At the very least it slows them down and makes them spend more money to do less
National guard troops are in a conflict of interest between two masters plus aren’t usually appropriate, plus how does it help anyone to turn that violent?
My state and several cities are among those who increased their legal budget and have successfully sued over illegal orders. It doesn’t make the headlines but several illegal orders have eventually been halted by courts. Successfully.
My city councillor was roughed up during an earlier raid by masked thugs, and while there may have been no visible consequences, the raids did stop locally
My state attorney general is successfully defending doctors from extradition and personal liability for providing reproductive care to women in undeveloped states.
Harvard is putting its money where its mouth is instead of capitulating like Columbia did. When the regime tried to block foreign student visas, that was successfully invalidated by the courts. Most of the blocked research grants have also been restored.
This is a variation of T.A.C.O and needs to be more public - the regime may have issued illegal orders and tried to make it so, but backed down when challenged.
So, as I said: they are not doing everything in their power....
And no, if a governor activates the guard, the governor is the Commander in Chief. Not two masters.
