State governments refusing to cooperate with federal law enforcement in enforcing immigration law because they reject the idea is an insurrection. And it ought to be treated like one. Whether it’s Gov. Newsom in California or Gov. Evers in Wisconsin, state governors ordering employees to obstruct ICE is a Fort Sumter moment.

The State of Wisconsin guidance to “state employees encountering ICE or other federal agents at their workplace” tells them to ask for their budgets, tell them to sit in a “public area” , not allow them to “enter into a non-public area” and to refuse to cooperate without contacting a lawyer.

Gov. Evers’s directive warns state employees “do not answer questions” and “do not give the agent access to any paper files or computer systems” because “state employees may not grant ICE or another agent access to such data or information.”

This comes after the arrest of Judge Hannah Duggan in Milwaukee for obstructing ICE agents while telling an illegal alien wifebeater to run away and helping him escape. Other Wisconsin judges are threatening to follow suit.

All of this is illegal.

State governors do not get to pick and choose which laws they comply with. Neither do state employees. Obstructing immigration enforcement in order to keep flooding America with illegal aliens is an insurrection and can be put down.
