“This administration’s unending obsession with the #2020election results in #Georgia uses outright #lies to compensate for the fact that they lost,” Kristin Nabers, the state director for All Voting is Local, said in a statement. “President Trump’s bidding, the Department of Justice is attacking the very notion of #FreeElections in this country, demanding to see #ballots from #FultonCounty because their candidate didn’t win there half a decade ago.”

Fascinating developments in the resistance against Trump's policies. From the article:

'The state Attorney General of Washington State is now seeking an injunction against Adams County Sheriff for cooperating with federal immigration enforcement, arguing he’s violating state law.

The sheriff faces a choice: follow federal directives or state law. Increasingly, state officials are choosing their states.'

There are many worthwhile messages in this article about how Democratic States are preparing.

One interesting one is this:
In Printz v. United States (1997), Justice Scalia wrote that the federal government “cannot require states and localities to carry out its immigration policy.”

The anti-commandeering doctrine, reinforced in Murphy v. NCAA (2018), means states can’t be forced to implement federal (ICE) programs.
