Hello, this is Victor Davis Hanson for The Daily Signal. Nancy Pelosi, former speaker of the House, congresswoman from the Bay Area in California, just said that she was going to warn federal Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents that if, in the opinion of state authorities, they acted in the way the state felt was improper, then she would order their arrest.

If these leftist mayors try to have an Ice Officer arrested, I hope the mayors end up with long prison sentences.
VDH ping
Who is this "we" of which you speak?
You spent the whole article detailing WHO is doing WHAT and there is no "we". It is THEM (Democrats) and there is no denying it or sugarcoating it, as you've amply illustrated.
Very disappointing. Enough with the "we" BS.
JMO, YMMV
Pelosi should be in prison.
They’re going to be hard pressed to find a local LEO willing to do that.
And even if they do, how the hell would they keep him in jail long enough to be booked?
I wonder if we might see this play out like The Paris Commune of 1871. One or more big cities defies the national government and gets put under siege. Barricades go up, supplies get cut off, and tens of thousands of urban dwellers die in the resulting anarchy. I can imagine the next civil war playing out in 10 or 20 big US cities. They won’t stand a chance.
Along with Obeyme, Xiden, the Clinton crime cartel and Schwartz Gyorgy.
Preferably decades long sentences.
Hhhmmm...I have thought that would be one thing we could do with liberal cities...starting with DC
But when a congresswoman, who was at one time the third most powerful person in the United States, in Jefferson Davis-style says that they’re gonna arrest ICE agents in their belief, their opinion that they’re doing something wrong, and that’s contrary to the Constitution, what is ICE supposed to do? Let them be arrested? That won’t happen.
Very interesting, very thought provoking article. Is a Civil War what the Dems are angling for?

You’re too kind.
A new civil war in America won’t last long.
What will the Left fight it with? Purses and lipstick tubes?
Will they throw their high-heeled shoes?
What will the Left fight it with?
Two words. “Charlie Kirk”
Shots fired at ICE in Chicago. VDH is right. Conflict could erupt in CA, IL, and NY at any moment. Life is peaceful here in SC. Irony.
And my guess is that state cops attempting to arrest federal law enforcement in the performance of their duties will not go well for those state cops.
I believe this was finally settled in 1865.
Interference with federal law enforcement would be the least of it for any cop stupid enough to actually do anything. Seditious conspiracy if they were ordered to and attempted to carry out those orders. Getting shot by a fast reaction force if it comes to a shootout.
Of course some cops might try something, but I suspect the smart ones would fall back to Dunkin’ Donuts until the issue went away.
It was the war of northern aggression.
