    I think it will, because local police dont really want to be involved in this stuff, it’s not their job. Blue states will be very likely to tell the Feds “We can’t stop you, but we won’t help you either”.

      And if he needs an actual example of this… remember when Trump said that Oregon was one big riot and police were getting killed.

      When the Feds rolled in, the local police very much stated that they weren’t involved in this and weren’t going to attack peaceful protesters. So when the investigation started, the illegal detainments were all on the feds.
