Trump's gonna start bombing Venezuela. This excuse that we're dispatching an aircraft carrier to Latin America to combat drug smugglers is hilarious.

I wonder how the situation with ICE, national guards, and local police departments will affect the views on law enforcement and any potential reforms among democrats. One could assume that people and politicians would see how they are linked to Trump's ability to commit illegal acts and would like to ensure that in future states have more control and the personnel are not likely to support any discriminatory, racist, supremacist, authoritarian policies. To me, it would seem weird if democratic candidates showed strong support for law enforcement after it has been used extensively against them.

The problem is the supremacy clause relies on the executive branch to respect the judicial branch enough to enforce itself otherwise the legislative branch will step in. Once that falls apart, local authorities have little recourse against federal overreach
