It would be fascinating to see if US troops would be willing to fire on California national guard. Do you imagine the US Army or the USMC would be willing to face off against Americans on American soil? We don't know if generals would give the order, questioning its legality, and we're also not sure boots on the ground would be willing to fire against their own countrymen.
Of course the Heritage Foundation is already trying to change this by rotating out those loyal to the United States with those loyal to the GOP and the Christian Nationalist movement.
But yes, several states already don't cooperate with the CBP or ICE, and we get regular reports of the atrocities committed by both departments. ICE is, interestingly, part of DHS and was created after the DHS was founded as immigrant hunters, and commits the same kind of misconduct that was routine in the Sicherheitsdienst. Law enforcement throughout the US is already captured, even if the state national guards are not. (And after George W. Bush's efforts to create an army of Christ within our ranks, they might be compromised as well. But I haven't followed the program that far.)
