tailored for this because you have an unlawful obstruction and it's making the enforcement of the immigration laws impractical.
So everything about it is warranted.
And I think there's something important to be vindicated here, which is federal law as a whole.
The president not only has a responsibility on federal immigration law, but there's a federalism principle that if he just lets a state
local activists or a political party essentially veto whatever federal laws they don't like, which is what they're doing here, then you're really, you know, he would be not, you know, living up to his responsibility and not only enforce these laws, but to send the message that local officials, activists can't just pick and choose what federal laws apply in which cities and which states.
I think he's been patient.
And I think if things don't turn around pretty quickly, I think it's going to happen.
Yeah, and I think they see that.
I think President Trump, one of the things that was learned from 2020 was things got out of hand and he let it turn things over and let the states do their thing.
And we saw how Minneapolis was a total disaster.
And I also think your point is good.
It's like if they do it now, whatever, if there is a negative political repercussion, but then things settle down, that's going to be gone by the midterms anyway.
everything is always politics is always policy and that's where we get our policy from with the politics so it is important to basically you know level set here and say hey you can protest all you want you can speak out all you want but if when you get to this world of obstructing and putting people in danger and preventing the law from being enforced we're in a different world and that's time for the insurrection act
And I think, you know, J.D.
Vance is going there today, so it'll be quite interesting to see what he discusses.
But I feel like, you know, when President Trump does this, if he does it, everyone at least will look at it with the eyes of, hey, he was patient on it.
We can't wait for something bad to happen and then react.
