Here's what Motherfucker is angling for with respect to the ICE raids

An armed confrontation and ICE LEOs being shot. That would give him justification for martial law.

Remember, cops, he does not have your back. Go home safe.

that's for sure. I'm sure, though, we won't get to see the part where ICE agents are wailing on an abuela or little Jorge.

On a slight deviation, I was talking with friends at a get together last evening and of course we were talking about all of the EO's and especially the ones involving mass deportations. Everyone agreed that it was stupid for all the usual reasons. Who will pick crops? Who will process your chicken and beef? Who will roof your house? It dawned on me that there is an absolute shit load of people in state and federal prisons. Perhaps the end game is rent out prisoners at a very favorable price to growers, packing houses, and homebuilders. For these greedy fucks it's a win/win situation. Lower payroll costs and absolute control over their workforce. The chain gang updated to the 21st century.

2. Yep. Sounds entirely plausible that he would spread ICE out to provoke some 'incident' in a blue state

to justify martial law. We can't control whether it happens or what happens, but we should plan now for what we'll do and/or where we'll go if it does.

I don't see it. I think all these actions in the long run will add up to massive civil unrest, murder, riot, breakdown of local and state institutions, food shortages and just basically anarchy in its worst form. The country is too big even for martial law, it would be what Putin wants, total breakdown of North American society.
