State legislatures across the country are accelerating efforts to shape immigration enforcement policy after the deadly shooting of a Minnesota woman by a federal agent, raising tensions between local leaders and the Trump administration.

From California to New York and Illinois to New Jersey, they’re pushing a range of bills aimed at limiting enforcement and protecting people targeted by Immigration and Customs Enforcement, while turning up the rhetoric with comparisons to the Gestapo.

    That sounds nice, but Trump would (correctly) declare that an insurrection and it would trigger an actual civil war.

      How can it be an insurrection when magats are the ones who are waging war on legitimate Americans?

      Traitors don’t get to make that call.

        States arresting all federal authorities for being in the state would be an insurrection, even if it was in response to a bunch of illegal shit from the feds.

      He already had an Insurrection, and it was eventually determined that beating the shit out of law enforcement is worthy of honor. So let’s get honorable.
