Imperative that Trump sends enough force to crush it. Big QRF and bait the trap. Respond to deadly force in kind with overwhelming force. Jail everyone else involved and charge as accessories. Insurrection Act, the works.
After many years, I am re-watching Ken Burns' famous PBS documentary on the Civil War. I'm still in the first episode, which explores the roots of the Civil War and the early irregular fighting that preceded full-scale war. Then this popped up in my newsfeed:

For 250 years, the Marine Corps has stood as the vanguard, keeping the promise to be first to fight, no matter the cost. #Marines stationed across the globe commemorate the 250th anniversary of the Marine Corps, honoring a distinguished legacy of service, sacrifice, and unwavering fidelity to both the nation and fellow Marines. #USMC250 #MarineCorps #SemperFi
Today, U.S. Border Patrol was conducting immigration enforcement operations near 26th Street and Kedzie Avenue in Chicago, Illinois, when an unknown male driving a black Jeep fired shots at agents and fled the scene. An unknown number of agitators also threw a paint can and bricks at Border Patrol’s vehicles. Chicago Police Department was called for assistance and cleared the scene.  The shooter and vehicle remain at large, and this is a dynamic situation.    This incident is not isolated and reflects a growing and dangerous trend of violence and obstruction. Over the past two months, we’ve seen an increase in assaults and obstruction targeting federal law enforcement during operations. These confrontations highlight the dangers our agents face daily and the escalating aggression toward law enforcement. The violence must end.

I have been pointing out this fact for 45 years. We have lousy service when it comes to utilities because they have a monopoly run by City, State government. Privatize water, garbage, electricity, and gas and have the companies compete for Clients. Give the people a choice!

The Congregation for Divine Worship, in its 2000 instruction Liturgiam Authenticam (n. 123) and in a 2001 response published in Notitiae, explicitly reaffirmed that the priest may celebrate versus populum or ad orientem according to local custom and pastoral prudence. “The practice of celebrating the Eucharistic Sacrifice ad orientem … is altogether legitimate and praiseworthy.”—Notitiae 37 (2001), 180–181, n. 2 Moreover, the diocesan bishop may encourage but not forbid ad orientem (cf. Redemptionis Sacramentum 25 March 2004, n. 19).
🚨 Diocese of Greensburg, PA According to Bishop Kulick's office, the ad orientem Novus Ordo Mass has been BANNED throughout the entire diocese. Is this happening elsewhere too?
