In reply to the discussion: 'We're not playing': DHS spokesperson reveals plans on CNN to arrest members of Congress [View all]AntiFascist

At some point a certain state, such as New Jersey, will decide they've had enough of Federal agents acting unconstitutionally and will act in defense of its citizens' rights.
Having a state's Congresspeople and representatives bodily trying to defend the mayor from getting arrested makes for good tv and will make headlines, but ultimately it is not very effective and only demonstrates the power that Trump can exert over the resistance.
What we need is a real show of force and numbers, then the Feds will likely fold when they are in the wrong. There just aren't that many Proud Boys to go around.

Want to see a Democratic Congressperson body-slamming an ICE agent. Put them on a poster.

Liar. If they actually had such footage, then why wouldn't they have released it already?

Assaulting and false imprisonment of a federal official is an even higher crime than that of a citizen

Based on its history of lying, you can't trust this administration's statements.
