Do you have specific suggestions? What powers does he have that you think would be effective in this situation? Since this situation is likely to be repeated in multiple Blue States, an effective response is necessary. I would prefer to see him call up the Guard, not to engage with the ICE thugs, but to act as a buffer between ICE and peaceful protestors. But that poses problems as well.
