If these leftist mayors try to have an Ice Officer arrested, I hope the mayors end up with long prison sentences.

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.
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.
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?
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.
It was the war of northern aggression.
VDH is spot on, as always!
I like Victor Davis Hanson, but he needs to quit trying to draw parallels between the Confederacy and the socialist nuts infesting the Democrat Party.
The leaders of the Confederacy loved the U.S. Constitution, and were thoughtful in their arguments.
The modern-day loons have no concept of constitutional government, and want it destroyed.
