I'm pretty sure that's a reference to the midterm elections in November 2026

Social media post from Senator Chris Murphy: Pam Bondi just sent a letter to Minnesota officials saying ICE will leave if the state turns over its voter database to Trump. Guess what? This has never been about safety or immigration. It's a pretext for Trump to take over elections in swing states

No way this administration will EVER withdraw ICE from an area of active occupation. Nat’l guard is literally the last resort here before the cartridge box; and the dem governors won’t actually pull the ‘trigger’ on it because they’re not ACTUALLY opposed to fascism, just paid to pretend they are

(My admittedly very cynical take)

    National Guard is not the last resort. As it can be federalized, it's not even the best option here.

    Several states have State Guards that answer only to the governor. The State Guard is usually little more than a legal framework rather than an operational militia, but that framework could be filled in pretty damn quick: Disband the National Guard units and offer the guardsmen transfers to the State Guard.

    They already have from multiple cities. They've been focusing on one city at at time, trying to drive up the pressure and chaos by focusing their presence in one area.
