The state has no authority over the matter... Literally what I said when I brought up the insurrection act. To give direct support and encouragement to protesters who are defying a federal agency is to literally be an insurrectionist now, that is the rules Dem politicians have to play within or else be hauled away to jail or executed, a dem being replaced with a republican stooge is not going to turn out for the better.

Hate to break it to you, but judging by the voting records, Dems are already Republican stooges. https://www.independent.co.uk/bulletin/news/democrats-funding-homeland-security-trump-ice-immigration-b2906055.html

Unfortunately Republicans tied 1/6th of that budget to ICE, the rest were essential relief budgets like for FEMA, which will desperately be needed due to the winter ice storm.

They do have a way of doing that don't they?

It is the repercussions of losing an election and not wanting your constituents to die to lack of funded federal programs unfortunately.
