Please explain what you’d like him to do and how he’d do it legally

He can call the National Guard to remove ICE by force, states still have power.

He absolutely cannot do that show me where states have that power to just unilaterally expel federal agents by force

Edit: here’s what states can do which is sue about it under the 10th amendment but they cannot just use the national guard to expel ice agents

I am a strong advocate that every state with a ICE invasion should dispatch their National Guard, 1:1 for each Federal agent in their state, with orders to simply observe and take body cam footage. Rent rooms in the hotel next door, track their cars with all their fancy surveillance equipment, track all the doors they knock down (and ask them for their warrants).

I think we will see a marked behavior shift in ICE if they realize that everything they do is being watched and recorded for posterity.

Cheeto Mussolini would just federalize them. Don't know if he can legally do that, but laws don't matter anymore, it seems.

I think his hands are a somewhat tied, but his call to action is pretty weak. I wish anyone would just call this evil Nazi shit what it is.
