15. Since when is the federal government involved in state civilian crowd control?

Border Patrol has one function: patrolling the borders. ICE has one function: Immigration and Customs Enforcement.
That's it. Those are their titles and jobs.

Civilian crowd control is left up to local police, sheriff's office, state police or the state Nation Guard in extreme or emergency cases.

States need to expel these weaponized government agencies staffed by neo-Nazis, Fascists & white supremacists.

But if they have the right to come in, then they do their "jobs" and leave. They have no right to inject themselves into the civilian population who are observing or protesting and that is exactly what they are doing. There needs to be heavily armed National Guard and police units present at these gatherings to protect the public from these instigating monsters.
