Our laws and Constitution have become optional if not obsolete in today’s America. Our courts subvert and supplant our laws and Constitution, our government neither enforces our laws nor complies with our Constitution, our citizenry is ignorant of and indifferent to our laws and Constitution, and criminals are emboldened and enabled to violate both our laws and Constitution with absolute immunity, because of the absence of any accountability. Wednesday, all of this was markedly manifested in Minnesota. 

To begin with, it is against the law to impede federal officers in the performance of their duty. According to 18 U.S.C. § 111, it is a crime to forcibly assault, resist, oppose, impede, intimidate, or interfere with federal officers while they are engaged in the performance of their official duties. Yet, the flagrant perpetration of this crime against federal immigration officers is being committed, under the guise of public protests, by growing numbers of Americans all across America, as it was yesterday by a mob of Minnesotans. Although it should come as no surprise to any of us, this excused and ever-expanding crime has now escalated to the point of deadly confrontations between ICE agents and insolent anarchists. 

Throwing fuel on the fire of this burning inferno of ever-increasing insurrection and insurgency, Tim Walz, the Governor of Minnesota, threatened Wednesday to deploy his state’s national guard to combat federal immigration officers. In other words, Walz went full-blown Jefferson Davis on us, threatening civil war between his state militia and ICE agents. In addition, Walz also called upon all Minnesotans to join the insurrection by taking to the streets to impede federal immigration officers in the performance of their official duties. 

According to our laws, Tim Walz should have been arrested, handcuffed, and taken into custody yesterday for incitement and sedition, since it is clearly against the law to threaten federal officials with armed conflict and to encourage people to intimidate, obstruct, and attack federal law enforcement agents. Yet, Walz is still in the Governor’s Mansion, Minnesotans are still on the streets, ICE agents are still under attack, our laws and Constitution are still being ignored, anarchy is still spreading everywhere, and this boiling cauldron we call a country is still boiling over with out-of-control criminality.
