Did MN Gov. Tim Walz just threaten to use the MN National Guard against Federal agents? I am reminded of South Carolina firing on Federal troops at Fort Sumter 165 years ago.
Walz is emotional and impulsive but is he that stupid? One certainly hopes not. I don't see the Guard fighting and dying to keep Somalis from being deported.
ICE and other feds are enforcing our nation's laws, passed by our elected representatives before Trump was elected the first time. In a government of laws, we change laws we don't like, or if that's not possible, we obey them. That presidents Obama and Biden didn't enforce the laws didn't invalidate them.
MN's Governor and Minneapolis' mayor have made clear they don't like our immigration law. That does not give them the right to stand in the door, metaphorically, as Govs. Faubus and Wallace tried to do. Trump is every bit as likely to send the 101st Airborne as Eisenhower was.
Hat tip to Herman Wouk for my title idea.
