Hey, uh, if you're the Governor of the state in which you know there are federal agents committing crimes maybe YOU should do something.
You can literally do the bare minimum. ICE are driving recklessly, trespassing private property of American citizens and businesses, etc. They are doing it constantly. Maybe start there. Can we get the first "ICE agents ticketed for reckless driving" at the very fucking least?
Like, something? You can use your state and city power to at the very least make things inconvenient to them.
I'm so tired of this "they want us to resist so they have a reason to escalate". THEY ARE GOING TO ESCALATE NO MATTER WHAT! That's how we fucking got here!
Seriously. We've got wine moms driving around and using whistles to slow them down and get attention. But the only thing the state governor can do right now is tell people "film the crimes, because we won't do anything about them right now".
He could deploy the national guard.
Edit: I made the assumption on which person using the national guard commenter was talking about. Should have clarified their pronoun usage before responding. Original below that assumed the "He" referring to Trump.
He's already going to do that! I feel like I'm taking crazy pills. It's like each escalation that occurs we have liberals saying "well, yeah, we didn't do anything to resist and he still escalated; but we should still not resist because then he'll escalate even MORE! Surely, if we keep doing nothing they won't escalate to the next step"
Do people have the memory of a gold fish? What is your line? Like, please write it down so you remember. Because the line has been crossed 100 times already.
There is always another step of escalation. Pointing to it, in fear, as a reason to do nothing is what you are doing.
When is he going to do that?
