A few things to note.
Once again, the mass media are calling these “violent protests”, and tacitly giving cover for Trump despite no evidence that the protests have scaled to the point where the National Guard is even necessary. This will do little but embolden Trump to expand the use of these tactics to other cities, especially if he’s going to have majority support from the voting base.
2/3 of the voters are either “not sure” or are actively supporting ICE and the Trump administration. He is literally marching in authoritarianism to thunderous applause. Worse, only 58% of Democrats approve of the protests. Which means 42% are either indifferent or are actively supporting ICE.
The more Trump marches in authoritarianism, the more people on both sides of the aisle seem to be stepping aside and saying “Right this way, sir.”

Great. Now let’s see how he plans on enforcing that or what he plans on doing when Trump essentially tells him to go fuck himself.
I figure after being ignored about half a dozen or so times, this judge will follow the time-honored tradition of scheduling hearings a few months from now in order to discuss the possibility of holding a hearing about whether or not some low-level lackey should be held in a contempt of court charge that this judge also can’t enforce.

The “including Harvard” is my own inclusion, not from the article’s title. But I think it’s important to note that despite the public battles that Harvard is having with Trump, even they are ultimately caving to Trump’s policies behind the scenes.
