A Prediction Or A Threat?

Stephen Miller, Deputy White House Chief of Staff:

“The threat being made here by Mayor Bass is explicit,” he posted on X. “The Mayor of LA is effectively saying the mob violence is caused by the mere presence of ICE in the city, and the violence against ICE will not stop unless federal law enforcement is withdrawn from the city. This is the definition of insurrection. LA and CA leadership demand the right to illegally import unlimited foreigners into America, to control America’s entire immigration policy by fiat—and if they are not so permitted, they will allow mobs to target ICE with impunity.”

So is L.A. Mayor Karen Bass PREDICTING that violence will not cease until all ICE activity stops? Or is she THREATENING it? It’s hard to tell, but the difference is crucial. If the former, you can agree or disagree. Time will tell.

But if the latter, it comes dangerously close to insurrection. It sounds a lot like Governor Orval Faubus of Arkansas threatening to “stand in the school house door” to prevent court-ordered racial integration.

But then President Eisenhower sent in the 101st Airborne. Ike wasn’t a guy to mess with. Neither is Donald Trump. Faubus learned to shut up. So will Bass. But how much injury and damage will result until she does?
