For Donald Trump, the “enemy from within” includes not only undocumented immigrants, drug cartels, foreign terrorists, liberal activists, and the press. ICE’s raid on a Chicago apartment building and the ensuing ICE violence against civilians make clear that Trump has initiated an unconstitutional, brutal war against ordinary Americans.
A military attack more akin to an overseas military operation than a domestic police action unfolded in that Chicago apartment building on Tuesday.
Families were separated, and children were zip-tied together and left traumatized. The local public radio station recounted: “Armed federal agents in military fatigues busted down their doors overnight, pulling men, women and children from their apartments, some of them naked, residents and witnesses said. Agents approached or entered nearly every apartment in the five-story building, and U.S. citizens were among those detained for hours.” Neighbors also reported that “federal agents used flashbang grenades to burst through the building, and several drones and helicopters were deployed.” The local ABC affiliate station quoted a neighbor who witnessed ICE agents: “One of them literally laughed. He was standing right here. He said, ‘f*** them kids.’”

His nibs, again, threatening to invoke the Insurrection Act.
Trump open to invoking the Insurrection Act
Trump told reporters in the Oval Office he did not yet see the need to use the Insurrection Act, but “if I had to enact it, I'd do it, if people were being killed and courts were holding us up,or governors or mayors were holding us up.”https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-open-inv...The default "JC" management style: "Theory X". As Tim used to say, on the Fool, "beatings will continue until attitude improves".
Apparently, the Insurrection Act can be invoked, over the objections of local officials.

The rule of law means nothing to our criminal POTUS.
