Supporting people is lawful.

Whether the laws he passes are legitimate, up for debate.

    His EOs aren't laws. That takes Congress.

    It's a good thing we gave his party the majority in both houses of Congress, right?

    Executive orders only effect federal organizations. Public schools are all state officiated. I don't know a single teacher that falls under his purview. Aka any teacher punished should win in court without issue unless the courts wish to completely illegitimate themselves.

    Ive seen one idea that its mostly focused on red states with so called nickname laws, and encouraging an expansion of said laws. Basically putting in federal resources to help enforce stupid state laws, I suspect that it would be ineffective at best though. Federal law enforcement per agency is probably roughly comparable to state agencies, just as an example the are avout 10,000 special FBI agents and about 38,000 employees total for comparison theres about 6,500 CHP officers cant find the total employees though. What im saying is that local and county will probably have greater enforcement capabilities per person on average meaning this is pointless at best.

    Officer, arrest your neighbor and punish your cities kids because the orange man said everyone around you are bad people. How many of your neighbors have been shot by these migrants he speaks of, 0. How many of these teachers have taught your family, many.

    Also local officials generally have to live in roughly the same area they are policing meaning even if they arent policing their neighbors they are still well within find out distance. Federal officials can be shuffled around, Jim the cop in Omaha Nebraska may legit get fired bombed if he pisses too many folks off.

    Agreed. I can say it out loud. If a Federal official invades your homeland and threatens your people, it's best to fill them with lead. Your neighbors are your neighbors. Those feds who betrayed you and your neighbors, are not.

    I was born and raised in this country, my parents born here too. I haven't met a neighbor who doesn't deserve to be here. Fuck ICE, fuck this god damned Orange shit stain. I say shit stain, because shit itself has value. I can feed crops with it. The stain, worthless
