Kavanaugh asking the president to use the cheat code:
> On the current record, however, it
does not appear that the President has yet made the
statutorily required determination that he is “unable” with
the U. S. military, as distinct from federal civilian law
enforcement officers, to ensure the execution of federal law
in Illinois. (The President of course would have great
discretion to make that determination, as the State itself
acknowledges.
And of course Thomlito doing the Fox News routine:
> The Government’s declarations show that U. S. Immigra-
tion and Customs Enforcement (ICE) operations in and
around Chicago have been the target of unprecedented sab-
otage and violence since June of this year. Hundreds of ri-
oters have converged at the Department of Homeland Secu-
rity facility in Broadview, Illinois, the only intake and
processing center for ICE operations in the Chicago area.
These rioters have been organized, gathering offsite and ar-
riving in vans, then getting picked up several hours later
by vans returning with new rioters. They have arrived
armed with shields, gas masks, protective padding, and
other tools for physical combat. And they have blocked en-
try and exit at the ICE facility, physically assaulted person-
nel attempting to enter or leave work, significantly dam-
aged the building, and vandalized both Government and
personally owned vehicles.
