Let me understand. With “bombings, fire bombings, and burnings of Teslas and other self-driving cars, rocks being thrown at ICE officers, threats against ICE officers, threats against their families” this was not a full insurrection. What exactly was missing to make it a full insurrection.

Insurrection: an act or instance of revolting against civil authority or an established government

Insurrection Act: The act allows the President to use military forces when they determine that unlawful obstructions, combinations, or assemblages, or rebellions against the authority of the United States make it impracticable to enforce US laws.

all true, but interestingly, Trump hasn’t yet invoked the Insurrection Act.
