They have been demanding documents from the Sheriff regarding a politically motivated racial profiling investigation, and he has stated publicly that he will not comply.
I'm not sure where I read it, but a Justice Dept. attorney was quoted in an article sounding rather flabbergasted about what to do because he was used to government officials complying with their demands.
I want more Governors, Attorneys General and Sheriffs to tell the Feds to F**K OFF!!!!
Rather than chest-thumping about civil war, this is what we should be encouraging--massive and widespread nonviolent noncompliance among state and local authorities, resisting federal intrusion into state and private domains.
If thirty states join Arizona, for example, in enforcing the law on illegals, what can the feds do? Arrest them all? Not enough G-men to do it, much less the will to commit political suicide.
Call it Tenth Amendment time. Second Amendment time will come when the civil unrest boils over and the thugs take to the streets.
Nye County has been through this before. They don’t like the feds.

Public forests are primary targets in a growing push for “home rule” in the West
A county commissioner in remote Nye County, Nevada, climbs aboard a D-7 bulldozer and reopens 400 feet of closed road within Toiyabe National Forest, as a Fourth of July crowd watches with admiration. In the process, he nearly mows down two Forest Service special agents - sent to prevent the illegal action - standing in front of the ‘dozer.
