There is obviously an intent to do enough harassment and violations of standard practice to trigger a response that would give 45 the opening to declare "an insurrection", invoke the "Insurrection Act", and then declare "martial law".

That sounds hyperbolic but given what we have seen happening for over 11 months, it's definitely not out of the question.

So whatever decision-making occurs, would have to keep this in mind and have all kinds of contingencies ready to deal with the aftermath.

Not all local LEO are like those masked ICE goons and many despise them (particularly those LEO who are "territorial" and see them as infringing on "their territory" ). I.e., a lot of them don't like "the feds".
