Republican lawmakers are urging President Donald Trump to invoke the Insurrection Act against Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz after the Democrat warned he could deploy the National Guard in response to federal immigration enforcement actions in his state.
"Invoke the Insurrection Act. Arrest Tim Walz," Rep. Mary Miller, R-Ill., said in a post to X on Wednesday evening.
Miller’s calls to apply the law, which gives the president powers to arrest suspects obstructing federal law enforcement, follow Walz’s suggestion that he might deploy the National Guard to push back on President Donald Trump’s use of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE).
As member of Congress pointed out, calling out the National Guard to resist federal law enforcement is what started the Civil War. It is also what Democrats did when ordered to integrate public schools. Does Tampon Tim want to find out what military extraction feels like? Trump can go ahead and federalize the Minnesota National Guard and then they report to him, not Elmer Fudd.
The Heavy Handed way that Ice is working is part of the issue here though.
ReplyDeleteIce is not a Gestapo-like organizations, but they come in and act like it the laws don't apply to them.
At some point someone is gong to say "Enough!" and then we ^will^ have a civil war. I'd prefer to not have that happen.
I am all for removing illegals, but unless, and until, you have seen an ICE raid in action you won't understand how bad they really are...to everyone, not just the illegals. The fact that the agents think they are unaccountable ( precipitated by no identifying marks on their uniforms and the blanket forgiveness of their actions) and their subsequent behavior is part of the issue.
The Peelian Principle are starting to raise their head and it won't be pretty.
Just call forth the unorganized militia.....open bag limit
ReplyDeleteAnd don't challenge the democrats like that...they'll find new ways to achieve even more.
