and how it will make them leave.

Given the ongoing brazenness of the felon and his DHS leader and her multi-billion dollar thugs, I honestly can't see how these actions help MN, or even the country, in the short or long term.

1. How will MN know when these actions are successful? How will the rest of the country?
2. If these actions are a show of united resistance to the rest of the country, then what?
3. Will similar actions by blue states deter the felon from

-- invoking The Insurrection Act or declaring Martial Law when he decides to?
